In his remarks at the Voice of Global South Summit, Prime Minister Modi had said the participation of leaders from around 130 countries explains that the Global South is ready to take big responsibilities in global affairs and that it wants autonomy.
“The message from Voice of Global South Summit is that Global South wants its voice in global governance,” Prime Minister Modi said, adding that India is proud to have the opportunity to put the voice of the Global South on the agenda of a forum like G20.
