Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Summit of the Future in New York, emphasizing that the success of humanity hinges on collective strength rather than conflict. “The success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not on the battlefield,” he declared, advocating for essential reforms in global institutions to promote peace and development.
Highlighting that “reform is the key to relevance,” Modi pointed to the historic decision to grant permanent membership to the African Union at the New Delhi Summit as a significant achievement in enhancing global governance. He urged world leaders to collaborate in modernizing institutions to address contemporary challenges effectively.
Modi also acknowledged the evolving nature of global conflict, noting that while terrorism remains a pressing concern, new arenas of conflict are emerging in cyber, maritime, and space domains. He stressed the importance of ensuring that “Global Action must match Global Ambition,” calling for a unified international response to these complex issues.
As leaders convene to discuss vital global matters, Modi’s emphasis on reform and cooperation serves as a crucial reminder of the shared responsibility to build a secure and prosperous future. The summit seeks to foster dialogue and initiatives that will strengthen international collaboration in tackling pressing global challenges.
