India says that it has no major differences with the United States on Climate issue. Speaking to journalists in Copenhagen, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said though India and other emerging economies' stand was considerably different from the 43 countries in the AOSIS but India was not having a major standoff with the United States. He said the real differences existed between the China and the developed world as well as the between European Union and the United States.<br/><br/>However, in the past few days, US chief negotiator Todd Stern has told journalists that it would not suffice for developing countries to just post their domestic action taken to combat climate change for information. He said powerful economies would need to demonstrate a greater commitment. <br/><br/> Meanwhile, a common Africa-BASIC draft has been prepared though it will not be unveiled as yet. Mr Jairam Ramesh told a news agency that the text of a potential treaty prepared by the BASIC countries i.e Brazil, South Africa, India and China has been merged with another text prepared by the Africa group within the G77. He said that all countries had decided to work off the two texts prepared by the Chairs of the Working Group on Long Term Cooperative Action under the Bali Action Plan and the Working Group of the Kyoto Protocol. He said as of now all countries have agreed that we will negotiate on the basis of these two legitimate drafts prepared by chairs.<br/><br/>The minister noted that India's position that a global goal should be preceded by an equitable formula for sharing of atmospheric space was strongly supported by France.<br/>Delegates from 192 countries have been for a week attempting to hammer out a climate change treaty. The heads of state/government from over a 100 countries including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, US President Barack Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will arrive in Copenhagen this week.<br/>
