“Six years after we signed a bilateral agreement we are moving towards commercial viability,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, announcing an agreement on the nuclear liability issue after talks with US president Barack Obama.”

Further quotes from Bloomberg:

Modi: “When we think about the future generations and what kind of a world we are going to give them, then there is pressure . . . Global warming is a huge pressure.
… For President Obama and me, clean and renewable energy is a personal and national priority. We discussed our ambitious national efforts and goals to increase the use of clean and renewable energy.”

Obama: “We very much support India’s ambitious goal for solar energy and stand ready to speed this advancement with additional financing… We’re also launching new joint projects to improve air quality in Indian cities.”

NDTV: “PM Modi-Barack Obama’s joint press conference”
