Keynote Address by External Affairs Minister at ICWA-USI International Gallipoli Virtual Seminar
Excellencies, distinguished scholars, ladies and gentlemen.
I am pleased to join you all today at the inauguration of the International Conference on Gallipoli 2021. This is the first major commemoration of the Battle of Gallipoli to be hosted by any platform of national significance in India. Perhaps, it is only appropriate that it should be done jointly by two venerable, historic bodies - the United Service Institution and the Indian Council of World Affairs. Their coming together with international participation has provided an opportunity to not only reflect on the Gallipoli campaign, but also to assess India s contribution to World War I. I know that the specific theme today is of Gallipoli Revisited; but this is also an occasion to revisit the larger issue of India s global participation and presence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday avoided committing to any deadlines on emission levels or climate change goals, and said India had always been responsible in protecting the climate, was doing enough, and remained committed to sustainable development. Modi reiterated support for a joint US-India effort called the “India-US climate and clean energy Agenda 2030 partnership”. He said it would help mobilise investments, demonstrate clean technologies, and enable green collaborations, thus creating a corpus that would assist other developing countries in protecting the climate by adapting technology. This initiative was first mooted during the visit, earlier this month, of the US Special Envoy on Climate Change, John Kerry. However, neither India nor the US mentioned a sum that would be set aside for this initiative.
