New Delhi, 12/1: The world is in a state of crisis and it is difficult to predict how long this state of instability will last, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday referring to various global challenges arising out of conflict, war and terrorism among others.
In his opening remarks at the Voice of Global South virtual summit, Modi flagged concerns over rising prices of food, fuel and fertilisers, the economic impact of Covid-19 as well as natural disasters driven by climate change.
“It is clear that world is in a state of crisis,” he said in presence of several leaders of various developing countries. “We, the Global South, have largest stakes in the future…Most of global challenges have not been created by the Global South, but they affect us more,” he said.
Modi said India has always shared its developmental experience with our “brothers of the Global South.”
