Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said a strong India will contribute to a more stable and prosperous world as he pushed for credible and effective reforms in global governance in the wake of changing circumstances.
In his address to the Parliament in Ghana, Modi also said that progress cannot come without giving voice to the Global South.
“In these times of global uncertainty, India’s democratic stability shines as a ray of hope. India’s rapid progress is a catalyst for global growth. As the world’s largest democracy, India is a pillar of strength for the world. A strong India will contribute to a more stable and prosperous world,” the prime minister said.
Noting that India is the fastest-growing emerging economy, Modi said that on the foundations of stable polity and governance, India will soon become the third-largest economy.
“We already contribute nearly 16% to global growth. Our demography is paying its dividend. India now has the world’s third-largest start-up ecosystem. India is an innovation and technology hub, where global companies want to converge,” he said.
The Prime Minister underlined that the world order created after World War II is changing fast. “The revolution in technology, the rise of the Global South, and the shifting demographics are contributing to its pace and scale,” he said.
“The world is also facing new and complex crises such as climate change, pandemics, terrorism, and cybersecurity. Institutions created in the last century are struggling to respond. The changing circumstances demand credible and effective reforms in global governance,” he added.
He said progress cannot come without giving voice to the Global South. “We need more than slogans. We need action. That is why, during India’s G20 Presidency, we worked with the vision – One Earth, One Family, One Future,” he added.
“We put emphasis on Africa’s rightful place at the global high table. We are proud that the African Union became a permanent member of the G20 during our Presidency,” he said.
