She further added, "Our countries' mutual promotion of Earth Day activities is one of several points of cooperation between the U.S. and India in addressing the world's environmental concerns."

The Earth Anthem written by poet-diplomat Abhay K. has been appreciated by UNESCO, Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala and sining-nun and UNICEF's goodwill Ambassador Ani Choying Drolama.
