French President Nicholas Sarkozy, who met the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the margins of the ongoing 39-nation CHOGM meeting, has urged the Indian Prime Minister to participate in the Climate Change Summit, which is slated to take place in Copenhagen.
Nicolas Sarkozy, while addressing a media conference on the margins of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, said that he has urged Manmohan Singh to be a part of the Climate Change, which will take place at Copenhagen between Dec 7 and Dec 18, so that he can be part of vital decisions adopted during the event.
He also mentioned that Indian Prime Minister will be discussing with his cabinet if he should be a part of the Copenhagen meeting.
The French president stated that he plans to visit India by March or April 2010 to finalise the transfer of nuclear technology agreements between India and France.
"We want India's voice to be heard at this international meeting," Sarkozy said, expressing the hope that the Copenhagen talks would be "productive, intense and progressive".
He said that at the Copenhagen meeting "decisions would need to be made, and failure is not an option". Sarkozy said that he was confident that India would not stand in the way of a successful conference.
Citing that Copenhagen meeting is a historical one, he said "If we fail in Copenhagen, all will fail."
