As part of the visit to India, President Mohamed Nasheed today met with Indian Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh.
During the meeting, the President commended the instrumental role played by India, especially Environment Minister Ramesh in the United Nations climate talks held in Cancun, Mexico in December last year.
He said much of the Cancun Summit’s success in moving forward towards a more concrete climate agreement was due to the constructive and more positive engagement by India and Minister Jairam Ramesh.
At the meeting, Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh assured the President of India’s continued support and backing for the Maldives. He said assisting the Maldives would always remain a priority for India.
