ANIExternal affairs minister S Jaishankar, who co-chaired the fourth India-CARICOM (Caribbean Community and Common Market) ministerial meeting in Guyana on Saturday, emphasised on the need for "collective interest" in the field of renewable energy amid climate change and said India's G20 presidency is also aimed at countries who are not in the grouping.
"Energy, renewable energy particularly, is our collective interest," Jaishankar said in his opening remarks. "Many of you are members of the International Solar Alliance. I think 13 members are there from the CARICOM. I believe it's been of some help in capacity building, in some cases even funding. I'll be again open to taking that help. Regarding capacity building as a whole, we have for many years now under what we call the ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation) programmes."
He said, however, that the offtake in programmes, exchanges and scholarships has not been strong.
"My suggestion, is whether instead of our inviting you to participate in a general course, which we are doing globally for everybody, can we actually take domains which are of specific interest to the CARICOM. And we are prepared to customise programmes in whatever area...," said Jaishankar.
