Washington : Seeking a fair and equitable agreement at the key climate talks at Copenhagen, India has insisted that it would be a deal-maker and “not a deal-breaker” at the December meet aimed at tackling the pressing issue of global warming.
“I can assure you that India would not be a deal-breaker.
It will be a deal-maker at Copenhagen,” Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said last evening at a reception called ‘Lighting a Billion Lives’ organised by ‘The Energy and Resources Institute’ (TERI).
“India for its part will be out there (at Copenhagen), working with the United States, working with China, the European Union to ensure that we have a fair and equitable agreement,” Ramesh said.
Among those present at the event included Farooq Abdullah, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy; former US Vice President Al Gore; John Kerry, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Congressman Steven Israel.
