Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that Digital Public Infrastructure should be a bridge and not a barrier. Speaking at the Summit of the Future at the United Nations General Assembly last night, PM Modi added that for global good, India is ready to share its digital public infrastructure.
PM Modi said that for safe and responsible use of technology, balance regulation is needed. He added that the world wants such global digital governance in which sovereignty and integrity remain intact. Mr. Modi also said that the success of humanity lies in collective strength and not on the battlefield.
Highlighting the threats to peace and security, PM Modi said that, on the one hand, terrorism continues to be a serious threat to global peace and security. On the other hand, cyber, maritime, and space are emerging as new theatres of conflict. On all these issues, PM stressed that global action must match global ambition.
Prime Minister said that when we discuss about the global future, we must accord the highest priority to a human-centric approach. While prioritising sustainable development, we must also ensure human welfare, food, and health security. By lifting 250 million people out of poverty in India, we have demonstrated that sustainable development can be successful. We are ready to share our experiences of our success with the Global South.
Talking about reforms of multilateral institutions, the PM said that global institutions need reforms as reforms are the key to relevance. PM also called the African Union’s inclusion as a permanent member in the G20 an important step in this direction. PM Modi also stated that for India, ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’ is a commitment.
