We want a ‘human-centric globalisation’, Prime Minister Modi said at the Summit
Expressing satisfaction that the two-day Voice of Global South Summit saw a useful exchange of views and ideas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday highlighted the need for collectively shaping the global agenda.
"It is clear that on several important issues facing the world, developing countries have similar perspectives," Prime Minister Modi said in his Closing Remarks at the Concluding Leaders’ Session of the Voice of Global South Summit.
Earlier, in his opening remarks at the concluding session, Prime Minister Modi had pointed out that developing countries desire a globalization that does not create Climate Crisis or Debt Crisis.
"We want a globalisation that does not lead to unequal distribution of vaccines or over-concentrated global supply chains. We want a globalisation that brings prosperity and well-being to humanity as a whole. In short, we want a ‘human-centric globalisation’," he explained.
During his closing remarks, he added, "We all agree on the importance of South-South Cooperation, and collectively shaping the global agenda".
In this context, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the following sectors for cooperation:
* In the field of health, we share an emphasis on promoting traditional medicine, developing regional hubs for healthcare, and improving mobility of health professionals. We are also conscious of the potential of quickly deploying digital health solutions.
* In the area of education, we can all benefit from sharing our best practices in vocational training, and in the use of technology to provide distance education, especially in remote areas.
* In the area of banking and finance, deployment of digital public goods, can increase financial inclusion in developing countries at great scale and speed. India’s own experience has shown this.
* We all agree on the importance of investing in connectivity infrastructure. We also need to diversify global supply chains, and find ways to link developing countries to these value chains.
He went on to say that developing countries are united in believing that the developed world has not fulfilled their obligations on Climate Finance and Technology.
"We also agree that apart from controlling emissions in production, it is equally important to move away from ‘use and throw’ consumption, towards more environment friendly sustainable lifestyles," Prime Minister Modi said.
This is the central philosophy behind India’s ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ or LiFE initiative – which focuses on mindful consumption and circular economy, he added.
The Voice of Global South Summit, held virtually at India's initiative on Thursday and Friday, saw the participation of more than 120 developing countries - the largest-ever virtual gathering of the Global South.
