New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the world is moving towards a new global order and asserted that India has emerged as a strong and influential voice of the Global South.<\/p>\n
Replying to the debate on the President\u2019s Address in the Rajya Sabha, the prime minister said the global system formed after the Second World War is undergoing a major transformation, especially in the post-Covid-19 era.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is clear that the world is moving towards a new global order. After the Second World War, a global system was established. Now the world is changing again,\u201d Modi said. \u201cIf we analyse this independently, the tilt is clearly towards India.\u201d<\/p>\n
Modi began his address amid slogans by opposition parties, who were protesting disruptions in the Lok Sabha and demanding that the Leader of the Opposition be allowed to speak. Taking a swipe at Rajya Sabha Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, Modi remarked that opposition members could continue raising slogans while seated. Following the comment, opposition MPs staged a walkout from the House.<\/p>\n
The prime minister said global attention has increasingly shifted towards the Global South, with India playing a central role. \u201cToday, the world is talking about the Global South, and India is its strong voice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Modi also highlighted India\u2019s growing engagement in international trade, referring to multiple trade agreements signed in recent times. \u201cWe are entering into future-ready trade agreements with several countries. In the past few days, we have concluded nine major trade deals, the most significant among them being with the European Union,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The prime minister\u2019s remarks came amid continued political friction in Parliament, with repeated disruptions and walkouts by opposition parties over procedural and political issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
