India’s vision now seen as road map: PM Modi
Hindustan TimesDays before leaders from around the world gather in New Delhi for the G20 leaders summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the principles driving India’s year-long presidency of the global grouping, the importance of democratisation of technology, the need for global cooperation to curb cybercrimes, and the importance of India’s four Ds – demography, democracy, diversity and development. India’s response to the pandemic through a clear and coordinated approach, direct assistance to the most vulnerable using technology, coming up with vaccines and running the world’s largest vaccine drive, and sharing medicines and vaccines with nearly 150 countries were noted and well appreciated. By the time India became the president of G20, our words and vision for the world were not being taken merely as ideas but as a road map for the future. The rapid and sustained progress made by India naturally evoked interest across the world and many countries have been watching our growth story very closely.
