PM Modi's '10 Noble Commitments' For BRICS To Ensure A 'Better World'
XIAMEN, CHINA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pitched for an organised and coordinated action on counter terrorism, as he suggested 10 commitments through which BRICS leadership for global transformation can be achieved.- "Whatever we do, will impact the world substantially. So, it is our solemn duty to make a better world -- brick by brick, or, through BRICS...," PM Modi said.
- "I had spoken about the BRICS driving the global transformation in the next ten years for it to be a Golden Decade. I suggest that this can be brought about with our proactive approach, policies and action," he said.
- Apart from PM Modi, leaders of Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa and five guest countries -- Egypt, Tajikistan, Thailand, Mexico and Kenya -- attended the dialogue.
- He said that BRICS, which represents almost half of the humanity, can achieve global transformation with a proactive approach, policies and action based on ten "Noble Commitments".
- The commitments include creating a safer world by organised and coordinated action on at least three issues -- counter terrorism, cyber security and disaster management.
- The commitments suggested by the prime minister also included creating a greener world by taking concerted action on countering climate change through initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance.
- Other noble commitments were -- creating an enabled world, creating an inclusive world, creating a digital world, creating a skilled world, creating a healthier world, creating an equitable world, creating a connected world and creating a harmonious world.
- Talking about India's national review of sustainable development goals as per the UN's '2030 Agenda', the prime minister said the bedrock of the country's development agenda lies in the notion of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas' (with all, for everybody's development).
- He also noted that India had launched the South Asia Satellite for the benefit of willing regional partners in meeting their developmental goals in education, healthcare, communication and disaster management.
- He also said that for over half a century, India's flagship initiative -- Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) -- has offered training and skill development to 161 partner countries from Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Caribbean and Pacific Island states.
- "And, in all of this, our 'no strings attached' model of cooperation is driven purely by the requirements and priorities of our partner countries," PM Modi added.
