"Ich bin dem Volk und der Regierung der Seychellen sowie Präsidentin Herminie dankbar, dass sie mir die Auszeichnung „Guardian of the Blue Horizon“ verliehen haben.
Ich nehme diese Ehre demütig entgegen und widme sie all jenen Ländern, die sich der Herausforderung des Klimawandels stellen und den Umweltschutz als ihre Verantwortung gegenüber künftigen Generationen betrachten. Dies ist eine dringende Herausforderung, die wir gemeinsam bewältigen müssen.
Indien seinerseits ist bereit, alles Notwendige zu tun, um unseren Planeten grüner und nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Dies spiegelt sich in unseren verschiedenen innenpolitischen Massnahmen wider, insbesondere in der „Mission LiFE“ sowie in globalen Initiativen wie der Internationalen Solarallianz, der Koalition für katastrophenresiliente Infrastruktur und weiteren Projekten."

Grateful to the people and Government of Seychelles as well as President Herminie for conferring upon me the ‘Guardian of the Blue Horizon.’
I humbly accept this honour and dedicate it to all those countries that are fighting the challenge of climate change and consider environmental protection their responsibility towards future generations. This is a pressing challenge which we have to overcome together.
India, on its part, stands ready to do whatever is required in making our planet greener and sustainable. This is reflected in our various domestic policies, emphasis on Mission LiFE and global efforts like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure and more.
