Prime Minister Modi Speech in United Nations(UN)



Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday made a strong pitch for reforms in the UN security council while addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit. 

His Speech Keynotes Bellow :  

Speaking at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in New York, PM Modi said "The world is connected and dependant on each other. Our international partnerships need to be centred on progress of humanity."

Throughout his speech, stressing that the world should be looked at as one family, Modi said all countries need to keep development of humankind at the centre of international policy. Poverty eradication, empowerment of women and tackling climate change should be the top goals of all nations, he said.

"Since we attained freedom, we have focused on ending poverty. Education and skill development are priorities for us," he said, adding that India has launched several schemes to empower people.

"We need to create a world where everyone feels safe, is respected and has opportunities to grow ... I want everyone to prosper and that's what I pray for; everyone's happiness, and prosperity," the Prime Minister said.

"I represent a culture where the earth is considered our mother," said Prime Minister Modi.

It is the entire world's responsibility, he said, to eradicate poverty and to tackle climate change. "If we all want the world to be peaceful and (we want) development for the world, poverty needs to be tackled," he said. The way to do that, he said, is through education and development at all levels.

Prime Minister Modi said he hoped that technology facilitation and technology innovation will contribute to the development of the world and aid in creating wealth for all. He suggested a global education programme be started so that future generations learn to form a relationship with nature. "The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities is the foundation of our enterprise for a sustainable world," he added.

Modi said that India has already begun to focus on these areas. "We are working on bringing changes to our nation, to make our cities smart. Our way to development needs to be sustainable," he said. India is also working towards making agriculture more productive and helping farmers who are suffering due to natural disasters that are a result of climate change.

"The world talks of public and private sector. We are looking at the personal sector. This means individual enterprise and innovation," he explained. If individuals prosper, the world prospers, he said.


For the people of India, it is a matter of satisfaction that there are many similarities between the path India has chosen for development and the UN goals for sustainable development, Modi said. 


PM Modi ended his speech with a mantra from the Upanishad: 

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः, सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु, मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् 

(May all be happy, may all be healthy, may all see welfare, may no one have any sorrow).
