President Macron,
Excellencies,
Namaskar!
I congratulate President Macron on this important global initiative for oceans.
India has always been a maritime civilization.
Our ancient scriptures and literature talk about the gifts of the oceans including marine life.
Today, our security and prosperity are linked to oceans.
India's ''Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative'' contains marine resources as a key pillar.
India supports the French initiative of a ''High Ambition Coalition on Bio-diversity Beyond National Jurisdiction ''.
We hope for a legally binding international treaty this year.
India is committed to eliminating single-use plastic.
India recently undertook a nation-wide awareness campaign to clean plastic and other waste from coastal areas.
Three hundred thousand young people collected almost 13 tons of plastic waste.
I have also directed our Navy to contribute100 ship-days this year to cleaning plastic waste from the seas.
India will be happy to join France in launching a global initiative on single use plastics.
Thank you, President Macron.

कपास किसानों की मेहनत को सही कीमत दिलाना वाकई बड़ी बात है। PM मोदी के नेतृत्व में MSP पर खरीद में भारी बढ़ोतरी से किसानों को भरोसा, स्थिर आय और आगे बढ़ने का मौका मिला है। यही बदलाव खेत से बाज़ार तक किसान की ज़िंदगी सुधार रहा है।#Modi #PMModi #India pic.twitter.com/BaygjcqO01
