Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has welcomed the UN decision of declaring 21st June as 'International Day of Yoga'

"Elated! I Have no words to describe my joy over the UN declaring 21st June as 'International Day of Yoga.’ I fully welcome the decision. I profusely thank all 177 Nations across the world who co-sponsored the resolution to declare 21st June as 'International Day of Yoga. Countless people across the world made Yoga an integral part of their lives. Congrats to them! This will inspire many more people towards Yoga. Yoga has the power to bring the entire humankind together! It beautifully combines Gyan (knowledge), Karm (work) and Bhakti (devotion)", said the Prime Minister.

The Ministers discussed issues of mutual interest relating to the ongoing negotiations on climate change including the recent Joint Statement between China and United States. They discussed in particular the state of play of negotiations under the Ad-hoc Working Group on Durban Platform and stressed the need to maintain and strengthen the unity of developing countries to achieve an ambitious, comprehensive and equitable outcome of the process.

Both the Ministers emphasized that the outcome of negotiations under the Convention must fully adhere to the principles of equity, Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and respective capabilities. They also agreed that adaptation to climate change represents an urgent global priority and must be given equal emphasis in the new agreement. They also called upon developed countries to urgently fulfill the pledges made by them to provide financial support to developing countries. The Ministers also reiterated their common resolve to continue to work for a positive outcome of the Lima COP and agreed to meet again during the week to share views and coordinate positions.

The Ministers took stock of the ongoing negotiations in COP-20 and resolved to continue to work together to achieve an ambitious and positive outcome of the COP-20 in Lima, while preserving and strengthening the unity of developing countries to protect their common interests.
