New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in New Delhi on Wednesday after a five-day foreign trip that included stops in Italy and the United Kingdom, where he bolstered India's self-declared renewable energy commitments at COP26 in Glasgow and outlined India's global policy positions at the G20 Summit.

PM Modi delivered a "seminal" statement at the 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, highlighting the range and depth of climate actions taken by India, as well as future goals that the country has set for itself. Prime Minister Modi announced five "amrit tatvas" during his COP26 address on Monday, including a goal of net-zero emissions by 2070. He stated that India will increase its non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030, and that renewable energy will meet 50 percent of India's energy needs.

PM Modi praised India's efforts to combat climate change, claiming that India is the only major economy that has worked to implement the Paris Agreement in both letter and spirit. He also spoke at the Build Back Better for the World (B3W) event, emphasising four aspects of infrastructure development, including long-term, transparent financing that respects all countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity.

PM Modi and British Prime Minister Johnson launched the Infrastructure for Resilient Island States (IRIS) initiative in Glasgow later on Tuesday. The event was held as part of the India-UK Disaster Resilient Infrastructure Coalition (CDRI).
