On the fifth day of negotiations, the first draft text of the Paris agreement on climate change came out today which India described as satisfactory and asserted that it was "encouraged" by the progress.

"At the moment this is a shorter draft but everything which we (India) got inserted is still there. It's five pages shorter," India's key negotiator Ajay Mathur said.

He said that the French president has spoken of "urgency" of moving ahead in resolving the kinds of issues and India will continue to work together to get closer to an agreement.

This is the more or less the same text which was released in the Bonn conference, officials said.

India also sought global support for bringing down the cost of renewable power to reduce reliance on coal.
