At the Summit of the Future in New York, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the necessity of collective action for the success of humanity, stating, “The success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not on the battlefield.” He highlighted that reforms in global institutions are crucial for achieving lasting peace and development.
In his address, Modi asserted that “reform is the key to relevance,” citing the historic decision to grant permanent membership to the African Union at the recent New Delhi Summit as a significant advancement toward inclusivity in global governance. This step, he argued, reflects a commitment to modernizing international institutions to better address contemporary challenges.
Discussing the evolving landscape of global conflict, Modi noted that while terrorism remains a persistent threat, new arenas of conflict are emerging, particularly in cyber, maritime, and space domains. He stressed the importance of adapting global strategies to these challenges, declaring, “Global Action must match Global Ambition.”
As leaders gather to address the pressing issues of the day, Modi’s call for proactive reforms and collaborative efforts underscores the urgent need for a unified approach to ensure a secure and prosperous future for all nations. The summit aims to foster discussions that will shape the international response to these critical challenges.
