Glasgow/New Delhi/UNI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted on his interactions with several world leaders on the sidelines of Monday’s COP26 in Glasgow, including with President Chan Santokhi of Suriname, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Nepal PM Sher Bahadur Deuba and Australian PM Scott Morrison.

He also interacted with Prince Charles of UK, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and with Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

On his meeting with Indian-origin Suriname President Chandrikapersad "Chan" Santokhi, the PM tweeted:

“Delighted to get the opportunity to meet my friend, President Chan Santokhi of Suriname, a nation with which India has deep-rooted cultural linkages.

“You may recall I had mentioned his oath taking ceremony during one of the #MannKiBaat programmes,” he said, with a link to the radio programme in which he talked about President Santokhi and how he took his oath of presidency in Sanskrit last year.

On his meeting with the EU Council President, the PM tweeted: “Happy to have met you in Glasgow after the very fruitful interaction in Rome.

“As I highlighted during my speech yesterday, India will always strengthen any effort for sustainable development.”

Prime Minister Modi, in reply, tweeted:

“Indeed!

“We shall continue working together for stronger bilateral ties and for a better planet.

“The people of India deeply value the friendship with Israel.”

On his meeting with Nepal PM Sher Bahadur Deuba, he posted:

“Met PM @SherBDeuba in Glasgow. It is important we keep working together for sustainable development. He rightly highlighted the threat of climate change to the Himalayan region.”

“Never a dull moment when you are meeting the one and only @ScottMorrisonMP,” the PM wrote, to which the Australian leader replied:

“Wonderful to see my good friend @narendramodi.”
