The PM underscored India’s achievements in renewable energy, energy efficiency, afforestation, and energy conservation, affirming the nation’s commitment to environmental sustainability. He looked forward to participating in special events on climate finance and the green credit initiative. Modi is also scheduled for bilateral meetings with leaders such as Israeli President Isaac Herzog, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu during his stay.
