Mr. Modi said, most of the global challenges have not been created by the Global South but they affect it more and it is evident in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, terrorism, and even the Ukraine conflict. 

He stated this while addressing the two-day virtual Voice of Global South Summit. He added that the Global South has the largest stakes in the future as three-fourths of the humanities live in its countries. 

The Prime Minister said, India has always shared its development experience with the global south and its development partnerships cover all geographies and diverse sectors. 

Prime Minister Modi expressed confidence that, together, the Global South can produce new and creative ideas, and these ideas can form the basis of our voice in G20 and other forums.  He also said, India's G20 theme of One Earth One Family One Future will create oneness through human-centric development.    

Mr.Modi said the world has turned the page on another difficult year that shows war, conflict, terrorism and geopolitical tensions, rising food fertilizers, and fuel prices. He also said the need of the hour is to identify simple, scalable, and sustainable solutions that can transform societies and economies. The Prime Minister added that to re-energise the world, the countries should together call for a global agenda of response, recognition, respect, and reform.  

India is hosting the summit which envisages bringing together countries of the Global South and sharing their perspectives and priorities on a common platform across a whole range of issues. More than 120 countries have been invited for this summit.
