UNGA: Prime Minister Modi said – change is necessary to deal with today’s problems. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a high-level meeting of the UNGA(United Nations) late Monday on the 75th anniversary of the United Nations.
The Prime Minister’s emphasis was once again on change in the United Nations. PM Modi said that in today’s world there are new challenges, in such a change in the structure of the United Nations is necessary. The United Nations must now take steps in this direction.
PM Modi said in his address that at present, the institution and the countries lack trust, in such a situation the United Nations will have to come forward. But that is not possible without change, new countries have to be given a chance.
In today’s time, the need of every country is heard. In his address to the United Nations Security Council, the PM said that since 1945 it has not changed, in such a situation, this old structure has to be looked at now.
The PM also praised the recent reforms done by the United Nations, saying that now it is necessary to take steps towards strengthening the United Nations, General Assembly, Economic and Social Council.
During this time, Prime Minister Modi said that 75 years ago, the horrors of war created a new hope. For the first time in human history, an institution was created for the entire world. India was part of that great vision as the founding signatory to the United Nations Charter.
He said that this reflected India’s philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, which sees the world as one family. PM Modi said that our world is a better place today because of the United Nations.
We pay tribute to all those who worked for peace and development and contributed to its peace operations under the flag of the United Nations. India contributed to this by being a pioneer. PM Modi said, the announcements or actions we are doing today are being accepted.
However, more work still needs to be done on issues such as preventing conflict, ensuring development, climate change, reducing inequality and leveraging digital technologies.
Modi said that under these declarations and actions there is also a need for reform of the United Nations itself. We cannot fight today’s challenges with old structures.
More work needs to be done on these issues
PM Modi said that still, more work needed to be done on issues like preventing conflict, ensuring development, climate change, reducing inequality, and leveraging digital technologies. India has always considered the world as its family and the United Nations has tried to take it forward.
