According to the MEA statement, the Panel welcomed the fact that more and more EU Member States are joining the International Solar Alliance.

"The EU recently funded an approximately 1 million Euro project, with an aim to further strengthen the engagement of EU, its Member States, and its academic, business and financial communities with the International Solar Alliance. The Panel agreed to explore further avenues to strengthen India-EU cooperation within the context of the International Solar Alliance. In this respect, India underlined the importance of ISA's One Sun One World One Grid Initiative," the statement said.
