“In New Delhi, Secretary Kerry will meet with senior government officials. In Chennai, Secretary Kerry will attend the G20 Environment and Climate Sustainability Ministers Meeting,” it added.
Kerry concluded his four-day visit to China last week that did not result in any new climate agreements despite “productive’’ conversations. The US top official for climate said that there were things that both sides agreed on and there would be regular meetings between the two countries on the matter.
