Global action must match global ambition
PM Modi said, “Giving permanent membership of G-20 to African Union in the New Delhi summit was an important step taken in this direction.

On all these issues, I would like to emphasize that global action must match global ambition.”
Need for Global Digital Governance
The Prime Minister said, “Balanced regulation is needed for responsible use of technology. We need such global digital governance in which national sovereignty and integrity is maintained. Digital public infrastructure should not be a barrier or hindrance, it should be like a bridge.”
India is ready to share its digital public infrastructure with the world
PM Modi said, “For global good, India is ready to share its digital public infrastructure with the whole world. One Earth, One Family and One Future is a commitment for India. This commitment is also seen in our initiatives like One Earth, One Health, One Sun, One World, One Grid.”
The Summit for the Future was earlier to be held in 2021
UN Chief Antonio Guterres had said that this summit would be held in 2021. But due to Corona, it could not happen. Now it happened with a delay of 3 years. Leaders of 193 UN countries including US President Joe Biden participated in this summit.
The purpose of ‘Summit for Future’ is to protect the future of the earth from impending dangers. In 2015, the UN, recognizing the dangers of the world, put forward 17 goals in front of world leaders. Almost 10 years are about to complete and only 17% of these goals have been achieved. Between 1970 and 2021, more than 20 lakh people have died in 11,778 disasters due to climate change. Issues like global peace, sustainable development, climate change, human rights and gender were discussed in this summit.
