PM briefs President on Copenhagen Summit

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called on President Pratibha Patil on Tuesday and briefed her on the deliberations at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen.

The meeting lasted for about 40 minutes, a Rashtrapati Bhavan spokesperson said.

The climate change conference had taken note of a US-brokered non-binding deal with India and three other emerging economies which was rejected by several poor nations.

The prime minister also briefed the President about the just concluded session of the Lok Sabha and also various issues of national and international importance, the spokesperson said.
