  • PM Modi is learned to have told Guterres that India is taking steps towards clean energy including investment-intensive nuclear power.

    Briefing press about the meeting between both of them, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said PM Modi told Guterres an NSG membership was essential for building investors' confidence.

    He said Guterres was "very enthusiastic" about PM Modi's leadership on climate change.

  • Meeting

    Guterres was concerned about India's coal dependence

  • Reportedly, Guterres criticized India's dependence on coal as an energy source, especially when the country has been talking about climate change.

    PM Modi then explained to Guterres that India was moving towards renewable energy. He also apprised him about India's initiative to put an end to single-use plastic.

    Further, Gokhale said Guterres understood India's position and was ready to help.

  • Quote

    According to Gokhale, PM Modi discussed idea with Guterres

  • "One of the ideas he (PM Modi) spoke of was whether or not the world could come together to create a pool of trained volunteers in a global movement that would help countries recover after a disaster," Gokhale said.

  • Looking back

    To note, China has been blocking India's entry to NSG

    To note, China has been blocking India's entry to NSG
  • India has been pushing for an NSG membership since 2016, but China has been thwarting the attempts saying New Delhi hasn't signed NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty).

    To recall, S Jaishankar, as Foreign Secretary, had a crucial role to play when India made a pitch for NSG membership.

    With him at the top of External Affairs Ministry now, New Delhi's wish just got renewed.

    He also met a spate of global leaders including US President Donald Trump and UK's PM Boris Johnson.
