A Gesture of Green: Modi and King Charles Unite for the Environment

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embraced a unique gift from King Charles III, planting a Kadamb sapling at his official residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. This gesture, marking both a birthday and the shared commitment to environmental sustainability, symbolizes the friendship between India and the UK.

The gift, announced by the British High Commission, was inspired by Modi's 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative. This effort encourages tree planting in honor of mothers, reflecting a shared vision for conservation between the two nations. The High Commission emphasized the unity in their environmental goals.

Previously, during a visit to the UK, PM Modi had presented King Charles with a 'Sonoma' tree. Such exchanges highlight the collaborative efforts on climate and clean energy, reinforcing the strategic bonds outlined in the 2035 vision by the two leaders, underscoring their commitment to global sustainability.
