Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change (Independent Charge) Prakash Javadekar met a Chinese delegation to discuss climatic issues related to both the countries here today.
"I met the Chinese Environment Minister and we had a fruitful discussion. Our nations have a lot of common issues related to environment," said Javadekar.
Earlier today, Javadekar addressed the 18th BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India and China) ministerial meeting on climate change.
The BASIC ministers have been meeting regularly since COP Copenhagen to exchange views and evolve a coordinated approach on important negotiating issues. The meetings are hosted by rotation in member countries during each quarter of the year.
