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.

माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी के नेतृत्व में नारी शक्ति आज भारतीय सेना में नई ऊँचाइयाँ छू रही है। एक दशक में महिला अधिकारियों की संख्या लगभग चार गुना बढ़कर 11,000 से अधिक हो गई है। आज महिलाएँ लेफ्टिनेंट जनरल से लेकर फाइटर पायलट और यूनिट कमांडर तक नेतृत्व कर देश को शक्ति दे रही हैं। 🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/a0lNvSx6RF
