 Honorable Dr. Seri Seter Haji Alibin Apong, Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism, Brunei Dhalusalam, Honorable Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am very delighted to be among you today in the Second Asia-Pacific Rainforest Summit in Bandar Seri Benkawan, Brunei Dhalusalam. On behalf of the Government of Laopidia, I would like to express my sincerest congratulations and thanks to the Government of Brunei for successfully hosting the Second Asia-Pacific Rainforest Summit. Laopidia is particularly under this valuable, productive and ecologically unique forest, which are not only vital economic resources, but provide essential contribution to the nutrition and income of most of rural populations, and in particular, the rural poor. They also provide a habitat for the nation's natural biodiversity and products, its soils, water resources, and water resources. Some 80 percent of our population is heavily relies on the forest for timber, food, food, fiber, solder, medicines, condiments, and spirit protection. In rural area, forests provide one of the few available economic activities and non-timber forest products, often provides more than half of the family's total income. Lively holes are more closely depend on the health and national forest. According to the latest national forest inventory 2015, it showed that current forest cover stood 11 million hectares, or an estimated 47 percent of the area of the country. It is still relatively high percentage of the forest cover by the world and regional standards. The leg cause for this loss are forest clearing and burning by unsustainable shifting cultivation, poor logging operation and conversion to the agriculture and other land use. We are underlying cause of vice cap poverty, rapid population increase, and weak law enforcement, as people scramble for the exploitation. The government of Laopida has always paid increased attention to the sustainable management and use of the country's forest resources. Laopida in recent green beautiful development towards 2030 and aims to achieve 70 percent of the forest area by 2020, as highlighted in the eight national social economic development plan in 2016-2020. This will be achieved by preserving the existing forest area. Restoring an estimated 1,500,000 hectares of the credit of potential forest and enlistment planting for 35,000 hectares. In addition, Laopida is working closely with our development partner to implement a number of projects in providing alternative ways of agricultural production and livelihood improvement. To control shifting cultivation, however, the demand for the resource mobilization to support the sustainable forest management is immense. The UN FCC was one of the three major international environmental conventions at the UN conference on environmental, on environment, and development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Laopida signs the UN FCC on 4 January 1995 and treaty enters into force three months later on 4 April 1995. In 2010, Laopida adopts its own national climate change strategy. Prior to the adoption of the Paris Declaration, Laopida has submitted its intense national determined contribution on October 1st to the UN FCC as requested. The INDC refers our engagement and determination within our national context to support a long-term goal in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the principle of common but different responsibilities and respective capacity, Laopida is committed to the implementation of its strategy and its sector climate change action plans for the national, regional and global benefits. However, it requires technical and financial support to deliver mitigation and adaptation action identified in its INDC. Our government has also given the priority to the strengthening of the national capacity in order to implement and promote CDM projects and to prepare the rate plus. The private sector involvement in forest rehabilitation activity is later important. The capacity of public sector is undoubtedly in etiquette. Therefore, the government has piloted the public-private partnership in forest rehabilitation scheme. We have entered the investment agreement with the local investor to incorporate the national protected area in the protection scheme. However, the risk to the success soon implementation of this localized initiative still exists, and the enabling environment and technical and financial support are required. Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, in concluding my remark, I wish to affirm the strong commitment of Laopida is working closely with the all countries, Asia Pacific Legion to achieve the ultimate goal to the Asia Pacific rainforest submit to end the natural forest loss by 2030 and its need to contribute significantly to the implementation of the private climate change agreement and sustainable development goals. Thank you very much for your attention.
