In his address at the conclusion of the G20 University Connect in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that India's diplomacy has achieved significant milestones over the past 30 days, and some decisions made during the G20 Summit hold the potential to reshape the course of the 21st century.
PM Modi spoke to students, faculty members, and heads of educational institutions, highlighting that he had engaged with 85 world leaders during this 30-day period. He underscored the importance of bringing numerous countries together on a single platform, especially in today's polarized international landscape.
Referring to the G20 Summit held in Delhi earlier in the month, PM Modi noted that it could have remained a diplomatic and Delhi-centric event but was transformed into a people-driven national movement by India. He also mentioned that six more countries have joined the BRICS community due to India's efforts.
PM Modi described the G20 Summit's achievements, including the 100% consensus on the Delhi declaration, as making global headlines and having the potential to influence the direction of the 21st century. He emphasized that the success of the G20 Summit, with so many countries participating, was a remarkable feat in today's polarized international environment.
Furthermore, PM Modi listed several achievements of his government during the past 30 days, such as initiatives to empower marginalized communities, the launch of the PM Vishwakarma Yojana for artisans, and the placement of over one lakh youths in central government jobs through "Rozgar Mela." He highlighted the passage of the women's reservation bill in the new Parliament building as a source of national pride.
PM Modi expressed his confidence in the success of the G20 Summit, noting that when young people are involved in any event, success is virtually guaranteed. He encouraged youth to think big, emphasizing that progress thrives where there is optimism, opportunity, and openness.
