Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked a moment of environmental diplomacy today by planting a Kadamb sapling at his residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. The sapling was a personal gift from King Charles III of the United Kingdom, symbolizing the growing friendship between the two nations and their shared commitment to sustainability.
The ceremonial planting was captured in a video titled PM Modi Receives Kadamb Tree Sapling from King Charles III, which highlights the significance of the gesture and the cultural importance of the Kadamb tree in Indian tradition.
This exchange follows an earlier meeting between the two leaders in London, where PM Modi had gifted a tree sapling to King Charles. That moment was documented in the video PM Modi Meets King Charles In London, Gifts Him Tree, showcasing mutual respect and a green-forward diplomatic approach.
