Speaking on the occasion, the Indian minister said, "India is excited to host the World Environment Day this year on June 5. Indian philosophy and lifestyle has long been rooted in the concept of co-existence with nature. We are committed towards making planet Earth a cleaner and greener place."

The visiting UN official said, "India will be a great global host of 2018's World Environment Day celebrations. The country has demonstrated tremendous global leadership on climate change."
