This is immense.” He said that she runs a Thirst Foundation, and has been a great leader at WEF as a young global leader.

“To drive this citizen’s commitment for water, we are all here to support her,” he added.

“I would also like to compliment Bayer because it has to innovate and is innovating in the field and innovating through research and development so that we are able to through agricultural crops through its new seeds which are lesser water-consuming,” he said.

Therefore, its a commitment for water. This is a great partnership between a marathon runner and a private sector company Bayer and all of us from the government. It is a partnership of all responsible people for the sake of water.

“I wish Mina Guli luck and all those who are running. We fully support you and we wish you all the very best and we continue to involve you in a very big way in all our water missions,” he added.
