India has strongly resisted the attempts by some countries to do away with Kyoto Protocol on climate change. Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh made it clear to the world leaders that the Copenhagen summit must come out with an agreement that is comprehensive, balanced and the burden to cut the emissions must be shared equitably by all the countries.
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was speaking in a meeting of Commonwealth Heads in Port of Spain.
Manmohan Singh said that India would resist a partial outcome. He underscored India's point of view that the Climate Change action that perpetuates poverty will not be sustainable.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy endorsed India's point of view. Sarkozy emphasized that upcoming Copenhagen meet on climate change should not miss the opportunity to tackle the problem
