Earlier during the day, MoS External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh also delivered remarks at the Raisina Dialogue on sustainable development and a green future.
He said, "I firmly believe that environmental action must not be limited to policies and government and efforts of the governments alone. It must also be a personal choice and a priority. A simple act of planting a tree is a pledge for a sustainable future. 'Ek ped Maa ke naam' is an initiative of our Prime Minister. It embodies the spirit, encouraging every individual to dedicate a tree in the honour of their mother, reinforcing the connection between nature, sustainability, and gratitude... Climate action must happen simultaneously while addressing other immediate concerns that countries are facing today. We need to put aside geopolitical differences and to come together for a green and sustainable future, a legacy that we can hand over to our future generation."
The Raisina Dialogue, being held in New Delhi from March 17-19, is hosted by the Observer Research Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs.
