New Delhi,
Feb 5. India and Monaco can further augment their ties by focusing on areas
such as environment and climate change and renewable energy where they have a
“strong meeting of minds”, President Ram Nath Kovind said on Tuesday.
Welcoming Monaco’s ruler, Prince Albert II, who is on a week-long visit to India, he said that the two countries have always enjoyed a relationship of trust, friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation.
“India-Monaco
ties are doing well. However, there is scope to do a lot more together.
On issues such as renewable energy, climate change and the environment, there
is a strong meeting of minds between us. We must prioritise these areas for
bilateral cooperation,” the President said.
“India
is the fastest growing major economy in the world, and Monaco’s technology and
investment companies can significantly benefit from the Indian growth
story.”
President Ram Nath Kovind and Prince Albert also discussed various issues like trade and energy.
On Monday,
Prince Albert had attended the India-Monaco Business Forum.
On the same
day, The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation – founded by the Prince himself
with an aim to protect the environment – had also signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) to
support work in areas of priority which include energy, environment, climate,
resource efficiency and sustainable agriculture.
According to a statement released by TERI, both organisations will work towards information exchange on the strategies and programmes implemented in their countries, including sectoral policies, and priority actions to promote in those countries and the conditions for their implementation.
