PM Modi at UN says, Success of humanity lies in collective strength, not battlefield

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the "Summit of the Future" at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday. Speaking at the 79th UN General Assembly session, PM Modi said, "Success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield. For global peace and development, reforms in global institutions are important. Reform is the key to relevance."

In his five-minute speech at the UN, he urged countries to prioritise "humanity" and adopt a human-centric



approach to ensure sustainable development.

"Today, I am here to bring here the voice of the one-sixth of the humanity... We have elevated 250 million people out of poverty in India and we have shown that sustainable development can be successful. We are ready to share this experience of success with Global South," he added.

"Terrorism remains a serious threat to global peace; areas such as cyber, maritime & space are emerging as new theatres of conflict," he noted.
