Highlighting India's commitment to a sustainable and green future, he underscored that India has undertaken several global initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, Mission LiFE and One Sun- One World- One Grid, and called upon the international community to further strengthen them.

While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I wish our PM would focus more on domestic issues too. Farmers are still protesting and inflation is high. International visits are good but our own people need attention first.

The energy security discussion at G7 was spot on! India is leading the way in sustainable energy solutions. ISA and Global Biofuels Alliance will benefit not just us but the whole world. Proud moment!

Croatia may be a small country but strategic partnerships matter. Their location in Europe can help Indian businesses. Smart diplomacy by Modi ji. Hope we get some good investment deals from this visit.
