Shared my thoughts at the Outreach Session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’ at the G7 Summit in Evian. In a world that is getting more interconnected and interdependent than ever before, this subject becomes all the more vital. But,
We, in India, view the world as one family.

This principle also forms the basis of our international partnerships like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for
Mutual trust is the most important strategic asset today.
But, sadly, today, the world does not suffer from a shortage of resources…it suffers from a shortage of trust.
And the future of our partnerships depends on re-building this trust.
India believes that the true test of partnership is not what we build for others, but what we enable others to build for themselves.
Our development partnerships reflect the same spirit.
Our efforts have focused on capacity building and skill development in partner countries.
