Who says the world does not bow down alone. But if the faith is strong and the intention is firm, then even the Himalayas cannot shake a person with strong will. This can happen. No one can ignore the way India's credibility has increased in the minds of the world under the leadership of PM Modi in the last 10 years.
PM Modi had said in an address during his US visit that this is today's India and now when India speaks, the world listens. This statement of PM Modi has once again proved to be true. Now India is speaking and the world's largest organization UN is listening.
For the first time, there has been pressure on the United Nations Security Council after India raised its voice repeatedly. As a result, for the first time, the initiative to reform the UNSC has started in writing. For the first time in the UNSC, a comprehensive paragraph was included on other reforms including permanent membership in the UNO. India has appreciated this initiative of the UNO. India said that for the first time a comprehensive paragraph on the reform of the Security Council has been included in the documents of the United Nations summit. This is a good start and New Delhi hopes to start negotiations in the 15-day local time frame.
For the first time, UNO included an extended paragraph
Notably, world leaders on Sunday unanimously accepted the future agreement as outlined in PM Modi's visit last week, in which they promised to acknowledge the urgent need to reform the Security Council to make it more inclusive, transparent, efficient, effective and accountable. UN officials were uncertain about the future agreements on the long-pending Security Council reforms.
When Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri was asked how India sees this language on UN Security Council reform in a 'future agreement', he said, “I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this is the first time that a UN summit has included a document. A detailed paragraph on UN Security Council reform. So while we don't have details of every area that we hope or want, I think this is a good start. A conversation based on a specific time frame.” But this should be considered as a first step towards that objective.
Foreign Ministry called PM Modi's visit a success
This move opens up the possibility of reform in the United Nations system. It is a win-win situation from any point of view. The Ministry of External Affairs said that PM Modi's US visit was successful and important. After the US visit, PM Modi left for his home country on Monday. During this visit, PM Modi participated in the summit with the heads of member countries in Delaware. Had bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden. Then addressed a big program of Indians. PM Modi also addressed a round table meeting with the CEOs of technology-related companies. Then he put forward his views on the future summit to be held at the UNO. Also held bilateral discussions with many world leaders including Ukrainian President Zelensky, Nepal PM KP Sharma Oli and Palestine President.
