Modi says COVID-19 reshapes world order |
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity to reshape the world order and to reorient the thinking. Inaugurating the sixth edition of the Raisina Dialogue virtually, Modi said mankind will not defeat the pandemic unless everyone, everywhere, regardless of the color of their passports, comes out of it. Keeping this in mind, despite many constraints, India has supplied vaccines to over 80 countries. During this pandemic, India has tried to walk the talk, tried to protect its 1.3 billion citizens, and also supported the pandemic response of others. He also asked global leaders to cooperate in addressing hunger and poverty. Modi also highlighted the importance to protect Planet Earth by saying that there can not be a Planet B. Modi said this edition of the Raisina Dialogue takes place at a watershed moment in human history. The event is jointly organized by the Ministry of External Affairs and the Observer Research Foundation. The theme for the 2021 Edition is "#ViralWorld: Outbreaks, Outliers, and Out of Control".
