Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India’s presidency seeks to cross gaps, shatter barriers, and plant the seeds of cooperation in a world where harmony triumphs over discord before the G20 summit in New Delhi.
In an editorial that has been published across newspapers, said that the Summit under Indian presidency will reach the last mile and would leave no one behind
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — these two words capture a deep philosophy. The phrase means “the world is one family”. This is an all-embracing outlook that encourages us to progress as one universal family, transcending borders, languages, and ideologies. During India’s G20 Presidency, this has translated into a call for human-centric progress,” PM Modi said.
We are working together to care for our planet as One Earth. We assist one another in the pursuit of growth as One Family. In these interconnected times, he said, we move together towards a shared future known as “One Future.”
“The post-pandemic world order is very different from the world before it. There are three important changes, among others. First, there is a growing realisation that a shift away from a GDP-centric view of the world to a human-centric view is needed. Second, the world is recognising the importance of resilience and reliability in global supply chains. Third, there is a collective call for boosting multilateralism through the reform of global institutions,” PM Modi said.
Our G20 Presidency has played the role of a catalyst in these shifts, the prime minister wrote.
“In December 2022, when we took over the Presidency from Indonesia, I had written that a mindset shift must be catalysed by the G20. This was especially needed in the context of mainstreaming the marginalized aspirations of developing countries, the Global South and Africa,” he said.
One of the most important projects carried out during our Presidency was the Voice of Global South Summit, in which 125 nations participated. The process of gathering suggestions and ideas from the Global South was crucial. Additionally, the largest number of African nations have ever participated during our Presidency, and we have pushed for the African Union to be admitted as a permanent member of the G20.
