We also had the former President of the Maldives in attendance, Muhammad Nasheed. 

He stated that as chair of Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), it is important for Bangladesh to support member countries gain technology, financing in climate adaptation, resilience building and amplify their voices during COP26.  The CVF and COP26 also need to join hands for a successful CVF Dhaka-Glasgow declaration and organise a leaders summit at sidelines of the world leaders summit.
