New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 76th session of United Nations General Assembly in New York on Saturday.
In his speech, the PM focused on global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and terrorism. He also appreciated the role played by India at the global level in fighting the pandemic.
The theme of this year’s general debate is “Building resilience through hope of recovering from COVID-19, rebuilding sustainably, responding to the needs of the planet, respecting people’s rights and revitalizing the United Nations”.
Here are the top quotes from PM Modi’s speech:
* In the last 1.5 years, the whole world is facing the worst pandemic in 100 years, I pay tribute to all those who have lost their lives in this deadly pandemic and I extend my condolences to their families.
* The little boy selling tea at the railway station is now addressing United Nations General Assembly Today for the fourth time.
When India grows, the world grows, when India improves, the world changes.
* I represent a country which is known as the ‘mother of democracy’.
*On the occasion of 75 years of independence, India will send 75 satellites being built by Indian students to schools and colleges.
* Those who use terrorism as a political weapon should understand that terror is just as bad for them. It has to be ensured that the soil of Afghanistan is not used to create or spread terror. We must ensure that some people do not take advantage of the situation in Afghanistan for their own benefit.
* The independence of the oceans must be ensured. To strengthen the rules-based world order, the international community must speak in one voice.
* Today the danger of regressive thinking and extremism is increasing in front of the world.
* It is important that we should strengthen the United Nations to ensure global order and global laws.
* Yes, democracy can deliver. Democracy is given.
* India’s vaccine delivery platform – CoWin – is providing digital support to help deliver hundreds of millions of shots per day.
* India has made homeless families the owners of the house.
* We are mapping 6 lakh villages through drones to provide digital land records to the people. This will give them access to credit and resolve property disputes.
* India has developed the world’s first DNA vaccine that can be administered to all people aged 12 and above. Another mRNA vaccine is about to be developed. We are also working on a nasal vaccine.
* “Come, make vaccine in India”. Today, I invite all vaccine manufacturers around the world to make vaccines in India.
*Development should be all-inclusive, universal and nurturing for all.
The COVID pandemic has taught the world that the global economy must now be more diversified.
