At the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Modi states that Ukraine must return to the path of a truce and diplomacy

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated in Kyiv on Tuesday that "We have to find a way to return to the road of the ceasefire" and reaffirmed India's long-standing support for discussion and diplomacy in Ukraine.

PM Modi stated, "I have consistently emphasised that we have to find a way to return to the path of truce and diplomacy in Ukraine," while speaking at the G20 working session on food and energy security.

When he landed in Bali on Monday, PM Modi said: "The Second World War inflicted damage on the world during the last century. Following that, the authorities at that time made a concerted effort to follow the path of peace. It's now our turn. It is our responsibility to establish a new global order for the post-Covid era. In order to ensure global peace, harmony, and security, there is an urgent need to demonstrate tangible and shared resolve." Invoking India as the "holy country of Buddha and Gandhi," Prime Minister Modi expressed his confidence that the G20 members will all agree to send a clear message of peace to the globe at their meeting the following year.

PM Modi started his speech by congratulating Indonesia for giving effective leadership to the G-20 in a challenging global environment. He further said that Climate change, the Covid pandemic, the developments in Ukraine, and the global problems associated with it have created havoc in the world.

"Global supply chains are in ruins. There is a crisis of essentials and essential goods all over the world. The challenge for the poor citizens of every country is more severe.Everyday life was already a struggle for them.

They do not have the financial capacity to deal with the double whammy. Due to the double whammy, they lack the financial capacity to handle it. We should also not hesitate to acknowledge that multilateral institutions such as the UN have been unsuccessful on these issues. And we have all failed to make suitable reforms to them. Therefore, today the world has greater expectations from the G-20, and the relevance of our group has become more significant," PM Modi added.

When discussing the difficulties encountered during the pandemic, the PM stated that India has secured the food security of its 1.3 billion residents. Food grains were also provided at the same time to numerous underdeveloped nations. In terms of food security, the current fertiliser scarcity is likewise a major concern.

The world will not have a solution, he continued, and the fertiliser shortage "is tomorrow's food problem."According to PM Modi, all G20 nations must develop a consensus in order to keep the supply chain for both manure and food grains secure.

"In India, we are promoting natural farming and repopularizing wholesome and traditional foodgrains like millets in order to achieve sustainable food security. Additionally, millets can end world hunger and malnutrition. The following year, we must all participate in the International Year of Millets with great enthusiasm "Added he.

India is the fastest-growing economy in the world, according to PM Modi, who referred to its energy security as "essential" for global growth. In addition, he said that maintaining market stability and not advocating for curbs on energy supply were important.

"India is dedicated to a clean environment and energy. Half of the electricity we use now will come from renewable sources by 2030. For an equitable energy transition, time-bound, inexpensive financing and sustainable technology supply to underdeveloped nations are vital "added PM.

"We will push for global consensus on all these problems during India's G-20 Presidency," he continued.
