10 reasons why the world should welcome it:
𝟏.𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡. Capital investment outlay increased by 33% to Rs 10 trillion (Now 3.3% of GDP).

India is today a provider of solutions, ensuring basic facilities to its people, creating a modern infrastructure, building a digital network, eliminating corruption in Government schemes and above all, overcoming policy paralysis.
2️⃣ India’s working democracy is an important reason for the world why it matters.
3️⃣ India matters because global opportunities and challenges cannot be separated and India counts on both scores.
4️⃣ India matters when it is perceived as an exemplar by many in the Global South. And because there are few others who have taken our Development Partnership approach.
5️⃣ India matters when it makes a greater contribution to global production and services.
Addressed Foreign Ministers’ Session on G20 at Voice of Global South Summit.
Made following 7️⃣points:
1️⃣India and the Global South not only have a common future but also a common past. We shoulder burdens of a colonial past,even as we face inequities of the current world order.
2️⃣ While we promote faster rebalancing, more multipolarity and reformed multilateralism, it is imperative that key global conversations of our times reflect our concerns and challenges.
3️⃣ Challenges of unsustainable debt, unviable projects, trade barriers, contracting financial flows and climate pressure have been compounded by covid pandemic & knock-on effects of the Ukraine conflict.
