September 23, 2024

PM Narendra Modi on Monday pitched for rights of the Global South at the UN‘s Summit of the Future, emphasising the success of humanity lies in collective strength, not on the battlefield.

Addressing the historic summit in New York, Modi said that as the international community discusses the future of the world, the highest priority must be accorded to a “human-centric approach.”

“Success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not on the battlefield,” he said, adding, “For global peace and development, reforms in global institutions are important. Reform is the key to relevance.”

Modi underscored that while prioritising sustainable development, human welfare, food and health security must also be ensured. “Global Action must match Global Ambition”

Noting that Digital Public Infrastructure should be a Bridge, not a Barrier, Modi suggested that India was ready to share its digital public infrastructure with the world. “For India, One Earth One Family One Future is a commitment.”
