PM Modi assures India's full support
Earlier this year in July, PM Modi assured India's full support for UAE’s COP28 presidency as he held productive talks with the UN climate conference's President-designate Sultan Al Jaber on ways to further sustainable development and bilateral energy cooperation.
"Had a very productive meeting with Dr.Sultan Al Jaber, the President-designate of @COP28_UAE. Our discussions focused on ways to further sustainable development. Highlighted India’s contribution in this direction, in particular our emphasis on Mission LiFE," PM Modi posted.
The discussions took place on the forthcoming COP-28 of UNFCCC under UAE's Presidency. Jaber briefed the Prime Minister on UAE's approach to the important meeting on climate change, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
