- Addressing a public meeting in Rameshwaram, he said that the development of Tamil Nadu contributes to the development of the nation.
- Calling the vertical lift sea bridge a 20th-century wonder, he congratulated and thanked the engineers who worked on the first vertical lift sea bridge where ships and trains will make the best use of it. The Prime Minister said that it was a precious moment to offer prayers at the ancient Rameswaram Temple and hand over the project on this day.
- Calling the projects a gift on Ram Navami, he recalled the mention of Lord Ram in Sangam literature. Underlining that infrastructure development in Tamil Nadu is a priority for his government, Mr Modi highlighted that over the past decade, Tamil Nadu’s railway budget has increased more than sevenfold.

Sudarsan Pattnaik

Brazil Proposes Global Climate Council Ahead of COP30
- Brazil has proposed the creation of a new international body to accelerate global climate action. The plan is shared ahead of this year’s UN climate conference (Conference of the Parties – COP30) in Belem, a city in northern Brazil, in November 2025.
- The plan suggests forming a “Climate Change Council” under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The council would aim to fast-track decisions made at COP meetings, better coordinate international efforts, and make climate action more effective.
- Brazil says the current process is too slow and complex. While the idea has sparked interest, key developed countries – including Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden – have responded with caution.
- They support the need for reform but warn that any changes must not weaken the core UNFCCC process that guides international climate negotiations. The proposal remains informal for now, but it is expected to be a major talking point at COP30 later this year.
