During their discussions, Chief Minister Sangma and Wignaraja explored various critical issues and potential areas of collaboration with the UNDP. Key focus areas included disaster management strategies, the promotion and scaling up of entrepreneurship, and strengthening collaborative efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These discussions signal a commitment to leveraging international partnerships to foster sustainable development and resilience in Meghalaya.
In a related development, on October 6, CM Sangma met with Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar in New Delhi.
