Joe Biden acknowledged the fact… Big message: Piyush Goyal after meeting US President
Piyush Goyal met US President Joe Biden at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) welcome reception on Thursday. Union minister Piyush Goyal met US President Joe Biden at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) welcome reception on Thursday. Piyush Goyal told news agency ANI that Joe Biden had conveyed his greetings to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he acknowledged that the countries which were not responsible for creating the environmental degradation in the first place are the countries which get impacted the most. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation grouping has 21 members. However, India is not one of them. It had made a request to join the grouping in 1991. While a majority of members are in favour of India's inclusion, some have opposed it, citing the country's record on economic reforms and claiming that it has' protectionist instincts'. Another reason for India not being included in the grouping was a membership freeze, which was in force since 1997 but was not extended in 2012.
