English subtitles for clip: File:The President Meets with the Prime Minister of India in Paris.webm

1
00:00:01,735 --> 00:00:03,035
President Obama: It's a
pleasure to meet with my

2
00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:06,076
friend and partner, Prime
Minister Modi of India.

3
00:00:06,072 --> 00:00:09,012
During my visit to
India earlier this year,

4
00:00:09,008 --> 00:00:10,578
we committed
ourselves to a new,

5
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:13,817
deeper partnership
between our nations.

6
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:17,283
And our work here in Paris
together represents one of

7
00:00:17,283 --> 00:00:20,253
the greatest areas for
deeper cooperation -- and

8
00:00:20,253 --> 00:00:23,523
that's on the issue
of climate change.

9
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:26,063
We agree that it's
an urgent threat.

10
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:29,029
The Prime Minister has shown
in the work even before he

11
00:00:29,028 --> 00:00:31,168
was Prime Minister,
at the state level,

12
00:00:31,164 --> 00:00:34,604
his interest in new
technologies and clean energy.

13
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:37,641
We welcome India's
leadership and

14
00:00:37,637 --> 00:00:39,637
Prime Minister Modi's
leadership on this issue.

15
00:00:39,639 --> 00:00:43,179
And Paris is a chance to put
in place a lasting framework

16
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:47,846
to address climate at
an international level.

17
00:00:47,847 --> 00:00:52,087
I want to emphasize that
we agree that Paris must

18
00:00:52,085 --> 00:00:55,125
recognize and protect the
ability of countries like

19
00:00:55,121 --> 00:00:58,161
India to pursue the
priorities of development,

20
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:00,998
growth, and poverty
eradication.

21
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:03,564
And I know that that is
something that is deeply

22
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:06,433
felt by Prime Minister Modi.

23
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:09,903
At the same time, it also
has to reflect serious and

24
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,573
ambitious action by all
nations to curb

25
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:14,072
their carbon pollution.

26
00:01:14,073 --> 00:01:17,073
So our teams are working
together to achieve

27
00:01:17,076 --> 00:01:18,246
these objectives.

28
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:20,914
And I am proud that after
our meeting here we're going

29
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:26,524
to be attending what we're
calling Mission Innovation,

30
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:28,989
which is a groundbreaking
new public-private

31
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:31,658
initiative that will
accelerate the pace at which

32
00:01:31,658 --> 00:01:34,798
we can develop and deploy
clean energy that's

33
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:37,494
affordable to populations
around the world.

34
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:41,767
And India has also developed
a new Solar Alliance,

35
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,638
which is going
to be, I think,

36
00:01:43,636 --> 00:01:47,176
helping to advance the cause
not only in India but around

37
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:50,143
the world of accelerating
the adaptation of solar

38
00:01:50,143 --> 00:01:51,713
energy, which is going to
be so important

39
00:01:51,711 --> 00:01:53,281
to our clean energy future.

40
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:55,719
So, Mr. Prime Minister, it's
wonderful to see you again,

41
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:56,955
and thank you for
your leadership.

42
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,350
Prime Minister
Modi: Thank you.

43
00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:03,461
President Obama: Thank you.

44
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:42,216
Prime Minister Modi: (as
interpreted) My friend,

45
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:48,455
President Obama, we are
launching ourselves together

46
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:51,524
on a very good mission, and
we are working together.

47
00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:54,994
With President Obama, I have
such a deep relationship

48
00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:59,164
that we are able to discuss
very openly on all issues

49
00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:02,205
and also set out
our projects.

50
00:05:02,201 --> 00:05:05,441
This initiative about
innovation in which India,

51
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:08,978
too, would be present, we
are going to be with the

52
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:11,545
United States and work
shoulder to shoulder with

53
00:05:11,544 --> 00:05:13,484
them in this new initiative.

54
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:15,719
And I'm sure in the times to
come this is going to give

55
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:17,285
very good results.

56
00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:21,353
Secondly, the other very
good outcome would be that

57
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:24,954
121 countries, which are
very solar-rich and who

58
00:05:24,957 --> 00:05:28,797
receive the maximum
solar radiation in their

59
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:31,435
countries, are getting
together and a new

60
00:05:31,431 --> 00:05:33,801
organization -- the
International Solar Alliance

61
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,370
-- is coming into being.

62
00:05:35,368 --> 00:05:38,168
In that, the U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. Kerry,

63
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:43,411
would be present and also
the French President.

64
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:48,279
And so this Solar Alliance
and the Mission Innovation,

65
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:53,521
I think these are two very
important instruments to

66
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,259
fulfill the dreams that we
have set ourselves in Paris,

67
00:05:57,256 --> 00:06:00,096
and to fulfill these
in the times to come.

68
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:03,893
India is a very
nature-loving country and we

69
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:09,236
are setting out, as always,
to protect nature in the world.

70
00:06:09,235 --> 00:06:11,805
And as you know, Mahatma
Gandhi was the biggest

71
00:06:11,804 --> 00:06:12,904
champion of nature.

72
00:06:12,905 --> 00:06:15,245
And we are going to be
making

73
00:06:15,241 --> 00:06:17,541
a very important contribution.

74
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:20,013
Our INDCs are also
very ambitious.

75
00:06:20,012 --> 00:06:25,582
We have set out 175 gigawatt
of solar and renewable energy.

76
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:27,585
These are very
ambitious targets.

77
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:30,687
And I would just like to
once again reiterate that

78
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:33,460
the responsibility that
India has will be fully

79
00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:36,929
undertaken and
fulfilled by it.

80
00:06:36,929 --> 00:06:40,069
And we will be working with
all countries in the world

81
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:43,806
to ensure that development
and protection of the

82
00:06:43,803 --> 00:06:45,773
environment go hand in hand.

83
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:49,642
And we also expect full
cooperation from all countries.

84
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:52,512
Once again, I'd like to
express my gratitude

85
00:06:52,512 --> 00:06:54,252
to President Obama.

86
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:55,477
We meet very often.

87
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:56,521
We're very good friends.

88
00:06:56,516 --> 00:06:58,116
We talk very openly.

89
00:06:58,117 --> 00:07:01,617
And I'd just like
to thank him.

90
00:07:01,621 --> 00:07:04,991
(speaks in Hindi)

91
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:16,338
-- about the strong message: Paris to protect planet.

92
00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:16,865
Thank you.

93
00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:18,509
President Obama:
There you go.
