But, sadly, today, the world does not suffer from a shortage of resources…it suffers from a shortage of trust. And the future of our partnerships depends on re-building this trust," the PM further stated. PM Modi further underlined India’s people-centric approach to development and international cooperation, saying the country views the world as “one family" and believes partnerships should empower nations to build their own capacities. “We, in India, view the world as one family. Our experience shows that development is most effective when it is connected to the aspirations of people. This principle also forms the basis of our international partnerships like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, Mission LiFE, and ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ (A tree for mother)," he added.
“India believes that the true test of partnership is not what we build for others, but what we enable others to build for themselves. Our development partnerships reflect the same spirit. Our efforts have focused on capacity building and skill development in partner countries," he further stated. ‘Global South Seeks Partnership, Not Dependency’ PM Modi urged the nations to move beyond a “donor-recipient model" and advocated equal partnerships based on dignity rather than dependency. “Emphasised that the Global South has immense expectations from the world. More than support, it seeks partnership. We must move beyond the donor-recipient mindset and work as equal partners! We must walk together and not merely alongside one another. Partnerships must be linked to dignity, not dependency," the post further read. He also mentioned India’s development initiatives in Africa, particularly in areas such as training, capacity building, water resources, agriculture and energy, saying these efforts are helping strengthen local capabilities and address global challenges. “Highlighted India’s efforts in Africa, including the focus on training, capacity building, water resources, agriculture and energy. These are strengthening the capacities of African nations and helping them provide solutions to pressing global challenges," he concluded.
The PM’s remarks come at a time when geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties and global conflicts have tested cooperation among nations on issues ranging from trade and technology to security and climate action.
