In a statement at the conclusion Sunday of a BASIC meeting in New Delhi on climate change, ministers from the four countries said the agreements made during the Cancun, Mexico climate change conference last December couldn't serve as a substitute to the Bali Road Map.
They were referring to the decisions taken at the 2007 climate change conference in Indonesia and said the plan map should continue as the guide for future negotiations, the ministers said.
