The whole of Australia in our train compartment

The Prime Minister said that climate has a very important place in our cultural tradition. We do not believe in exploitation of nature. He said that by the year 2030, we have set a target of net zero of Indian Railways. To say India's railway means that every day we have the whole of Australia in our train compartment, our country is so big.

Emphasis on resolving the dispute through diplomacy

He said that the countries of the Global South have especially suffered from the Kovid epidemic and the Ukraine conflict. We are of the opinion that it is necessary for all countries to unite to solve these problems. Since the beginning of the developments in Ukraine, India has insisted on resolving this dispute through dialogue and diplomacy. I thank President Biden for his support of my proposal to make Africa a full member of the G20.
