ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the sidelines of the Middle East Green Initiative (MGI) summit in Riyadh and discussed with him a range of issues, including climate change, measures to tackle it and the Afghanistan situation. 
At the launch of the summit in Riyadh, Crown Prince Mohammed announced two initiatives at a cost of $10.39 billion to combat climate change. The projects include an investment fund for carbon economy solutions in the region and a global initiative that will contribute to clean fuel solutions to feed more than 750 million people worldwide. 抖阴短视频 will contribute around 15 percent of the entire cost. 
PM Khan traveled to the kingdom on the invitation of the Saudi crown prince to attend the MGO summit and share his perspective on challenges faced by developing countries due to climate change.
During his meeting with the crown prince, PM Khan paid tribute to the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz, in the progress and development of the kingdom. He lauded the crown prince for the Saudi Vision 2030, a strategic framework to reduce 抖阴短视频鈥檚 dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism.
鈥淭he prime minister warmly congratulated the crown prince on successfully organizing the Middle East Green Initiative (MGI) Summit on Climate Change,鈥� his office said in a statement. 
鈥淭he summit clearly demonstrated the commitment of the Saudi leadership to take tangible steps for effectively tackling the challenge of Climate Change. The Prime Minister noted that the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative aligned closely with Pakistan鈥檚 Climate Change Initiatives 鈥� 鈥楥lean and Green Pakistan鈥� and the 鈥楾en Billion Tree Tsunami鈥�.鈥� 

He reiterated Pakistan鈥檚 support in the implementation of the initiatives and highlighted the significance Pakistan attached to its strategic ties with the kingdom. 
The prime minister also expressed gratitude to 抖阴短视频 for its steadfast support to Pakistan at every crucial juncture, according to PM Khan鈥檚 office. The two leaders agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation across all fields. 
On the latest developments in Afghanistan, the Pakistan premier stressed the importance of active and constructive engagement of the international community to help alleviate the suffering of the Afghan people. He expressed concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Afghanistan and hoped that the international community would take urgent steps to prevent a humanitarian crisis and economic collapse in Afghanistan. 
In his address to the MGI summit earlier, PM Khan said, 鈥淎ll the experience that we have had in so far planting 2.5 billion trees in Pakistan and our target is 10 billion trees, so we will be sharing all our experience with you Highness [Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman].鈥� 
He said climate change was probably one of the biggest crises facing humanity: 鈥淯nfortunately, this crisis was quite visible 20 years ago, but somehow we were all in self-denial. No one thought that this would actually happen, that the temperature was getting warmer. No one believed there would be effects of this.鈥� 

Khan highlighted the actions Pakistan was taking to combat climate change and emissions, including planting billions of trees and converting coal projects to hydroelectricity. 
鈥淲e will shift 60 percent of all our energy into clean energy by 2030. Thirty percent of all transport will be shifted to electric vehicles by 2030. We already shelved 2400 megawatts of coal projects, and replaced them with 3700 megawatts of hydroelectricity, and then committed there would be no new coal projects in Pakistan,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he only energy through coal will be gasifications and that鈥檚 using local coal that is in Pakistan.鈥� 
Khan said Pakistan had focused on nature-based solutions. 鈥淧akistan is the only country where mangrove carbon is growing. Mangroves absorb the highest amount of carbon emissions 鈥� we plan to plant 1 billion more of these trees by 2023.鈥� 
The MGI summit is the first of its kind event in the Middle East region. Riyadh, a signatory to the Paris climate pact, on Saturday set out details of its nationally determined contributions (NDCs) 鈥� goals for individual states under global efforts to prevent average global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. 

The United States and the European Union want 抖阴短视频 to join the global initiative on slashing methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. 
In his address to the summit, Crown Prince Mohammed said the kingdom would build a regional program to reduce carbon emissions within the framework of the Middle East Green Initiative and create a platform to implement the concept of a circular carbon economy. 
鈥淭here are gaps in the regional climate action system. And through coordinating regional efforts and sharing experiences and technologies, we can accelerate achievements in our initiatives,鈥� he said. 
鈥淲e gather today at this summit to join forces and coordinate our efforts to protect the environment, confront climate change, and develop a roadmap toward reducing carbon emissions in the region by more than 10 percent of global contribution, and plant 50 billion trees in the region, through the largest tree-planting program globally,鈥� the crown prince said. 
鈥淭his will contribute to achieving 5 percent of the global target for afforestation,鈥� he added.
