Danish Prime Minister meets Manmohan Singh |
Danish Prime Minister
Lars Lokke Rasmussen met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Friday.
The two leaders discussed bilateral, regional and international issues. During
the meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on co-operation between
the governments of both the nations in the areas of environment. Ole Lonsmann
Poulsen, Denmark Ambassador to India and Vijay Sharma, Secretary to India's federal
Ministry of Forests and Environment signed the MoU in the presence of premiers
of both the nations. Danish Prime Minister's two-day visit to New Delhi would
also include meetings with the head of the UN climate panel Rajendra Pachauri.
Global talks for a new U.N. climate agreement have become mired in differences
over how much money and technology rich nations will provide to poor countries
to help seal a climate deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol that expires in 2012.
India fears that emissions targets will stunt its economic growth and has said
it will take its own unilateral action to cut pollution. |
