The world order is changing and many multilateral organisations are falling behind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today, naming the United Nations in this context.
Delivering the keynote address at the NDTV World Summit in the national capital this evening, PM Modi said trade, technology and the emergence of new powers are changing the world every day.
And second, what is India’s role in this changing world”. “The world understood that world systems cannot run solely on the basis of power and interests. Dialogue is necessary, cooperation is necessary, and the resolution of disputes is also necessary. This sentiment laid the foundation of the United Nations (UN). For decades, the UN played its role in promoting global cooperation and peace. But with time, the world kept changing. New aspirations emerged, new economies and new powers arose. This is not the first time India has called for reforms in the global body.
Dubbing this period a “World Between Orders,” he said, “We have to understand two things: First, why is the world’s order changing, and why is the old global order unable to provide solutions to today’s challenges? “The Second World War taught the world a big lesson,” he said. The challenges before the world became much more complex than before,” he said. In this backdrop of rapid changes, the limitations of certain organisations are showing, he said. Earlier, foreign minister S Jaishankar had strongly insisted that the organisation is “gridlocked”.
