Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to a selfie that his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni had taken during the COP28 Summit on Saturday by saying that it was always a pleasure to meet friends.

The Italian prime minister and PM Modi shared a selfie on X on Friday, captioning it, "Good friends at COP28," and adding the hashtag "Melodi," which combines the surnames of the two leaders.

PM Modi replied by retweeting the picture along with the phrase, "Meeting friends is always a delight."


The annual Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28), which is being held in Dubai through December 12, is being attended by world leaders.

After his trips to Glasgow in 2021 and Paris in 2015, Prime Minister Modi made his third appearance at the World Climate Action Summit after landing in Dubai late on Thursday. The Indian community in Dubai greeted him with open arms.

Among the many world leaders he met were Meloni, King Charles, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron.

During the summit's opening speech, the prime minister stated that India has set goals to reduce its emission intensity by 45% by 2030 and raise the proportion of non-fossil fuels to 50%. Additionally, he put forth the Green Credit Initiative, which aims to engage individuals in the process of creating carbon sinks.
