President Pratibha Patil said that India will work towards ensuring representation of developing countries in global financial institutions while dealing with the economic crisis.

In an interaction with envoys from Maldives, Gambia and Sudan, Patil said on Friday while dealing with the current global financial crises, the long-pending issue of representation for developing countries in global financial institutions would be addressed.


Three High Commissioners Abdul Azeez Yoosuf (Maldives), Felix Badji (Gambia), and Khider Haroun Ahmed Abdulrazig (Sudan) presented their credentials to the President at a ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi on Friday.


This was the first Credentials Presentation Ceremony since the formation of the new government.

Patil said India would continue to work for peace, stability and development in its region and the world.


She also told the envoys that India wants to improve its bilateral relations with their countries.


The ceremony was attended by senior members of the missions and officials of the External Affairs Ministry.
