In his opening remarks at the Voice of Global South conference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday the “world is in a state of crisis” and urged the leaders of poor countries “your voice is India’s voice” and “your priorities are India’s priorities”.
PM Narendra Modi stated, “We, the Global South, have the greatest stakes in the future,” at the opening session of the two-day special virtual summit, the Voice of Global South summit, which began on Thursday. The majority of global difficulties were not produced by the Global South. But they have a greater impact on us”.
“India has always shared its developmental experience with our Global South brothers. As India takes over the G20 presidency this year, it is obvious that our goal would be to “amplify the Voice of the Global South,” he added.
PM Narendra Modi also shared his philosophy for dealing with the global south’s concerns. “To re-energize the globe, we must advocate for a worldwide agenda of “Respond, Recognize, Respect, and Reform,” he stated.
PM Narendra Modi stated that countries must react to the Global South’s goals, recognise the idea of shared but differentiated responsibilities, respect international law and territorial sovereignty, and modernise international organisations such as the United Nations.
He also mentioned food, fuel, and fertiliser shortages, attributing them to war, strife, political stress, and the coronavirus epidemic.
Under the theme “Unity of Voice, Unity of Purpose,” the “Voice of Global South Summit” aims to bring together countries from the Global South to discuss their perspectives and goals on a shared platform. This Summit has been sent invitations to more than 120 nations.The term “Global South” refers to the world’s developing and underdeveloped countries.
Officials stated that India will try to ensure that the valuable insights provided by partner countries during the Voice of the Global South Summit discussions are recognised internationally. They noted that India’s current G20 Presidency gives a unique and powerful opportunity for nations that are not currently involved in the G20 process to voice their thoughts and expectations from the G20.
This is consistent with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark that India’s G20 presidency will be structured in cooperation with not only partner countries, but also fellow travellers in the Global South, whose voices are frequently ignored, according to authorities.
The Summit intends to have ten sessions, four on January 12 and six on January 13. Leaders and ministers from 10 to 20 nations are anticipated to attend each session.
