India and Japan on Saturday launched a Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) for cooperation towards achieving sustainable economic growth, addressing climate change and ensuring energy security.
The initiative was launched on the occasion of the 14th India-Japan Annual Summit being held in New Delhi. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is on a two-day visit to India (March 19-20) for a summit with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
“The partnership will lead to clean growth by boosting job creation, innovation and investments. It will also demonstrate to the world that India and Japan are at the forefront in delivering on the ambitious climate and sustainable development goals,” a statement by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the partnership said.
