India will remain a proactive partner in achieving global peace and development, says PM Modi
Emphasising that the “success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield," Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that reforms in global institutions are essential for global peace and development.
Addressing the ‘Summit of the Future’ at the United Nations in New York on Monday (September 23, 2024), Prime Minister Modi also called for a human-centric approach to issues of the future and highlighted the need for human welfare, food and health security.
“Success of Humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield. And for global peace and development, reforms in global institutions are essential. Reform is the key to relevance!” Prime Minister Modi said in his address, adding that permanent membership of the G20 to the African Union at the New Delhi Summit, was an important step in this direction.
He also flagged cyber, maritime, and space as new theatres of conflict. “While on the one hand, terrorism continues to be a serious threat to global peace and security, on the other hand, areas such as cyber, maritime and space, are emerging as new theaters of conflict. On all these issues, I will stress, that, Global Action must match Global Ambition!” he said.
The summit, themed "Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow," brought together a large number of world leaders aiming to forge a path towards a more harmonious future.
