India and France along with 40 representative countries of International Solar Alliance (ISA) announced an action plan to assist developing countries in harnessing solar energy in several industries. With this, India announced an OPEC kind treaty-based cross-country association for solar energy. 

“ISA is not only the testament of India’s multilateralism but also a commitment in sustainable green future,” said Sushma Swaraj, minister of external affairs in her welcome address, emphasising the age-old Indian tradition of Vasudev Kutumbakam — the world is one home. She said the same culture is ingrained in India’s effort to build a global platform like ISA.
