Assured that India will take up with other international partners initiatives to support Sri Lanka at this important juncture.

Welcomed the progress on Trincomalee Tank Farm which will contribute to energy security.
Considered projects and investment plans by India that would strengthen Sri Lankan economy.

Urged early release of Indian fishermen in Sri Lankan custody as a humanitarian gesture.

Chaired the 18th RIC Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. Discussed contemporary global issues. Highlighted that:

1. Covid-19 pandemic has alerted us to the need for more reliable global supply chains, especially in health.
2.RIC countries must recognize vaccination certificates issued by each other. The world should avoid unreasonable and unscientific travel restrictions.
3.There is a crying need for reformed multilateralism. Defending the outcome of the Second World War does not mean freezing the world order at 1945 forever.

A powerful and impactful address by PM @narendramodi to the UN General Assembly today. 12 big policy takeaways:

1. Representing the Mother of Democracy and based on his own experiences, PM affirms that democracy can deliver, democracy has delivered.
2. His governance vision is one where no one is left behind. Therefore, the pursuit of integrated and equitable development. The numbers PM shared speak for our Government’s record.
3. The impact of India’s development on global progress is evident. As PM noted, when India grows, the world grows; when India reforms, the world transforms.

4.A strong message of a foreign policy for global good. India’s importance as a responder and a contributor underlined.

Foreign friendships matter. Every life counts; and every gesture makes a difference.

19 hospitals across India see that through their new oxygen generating plants.

A global challenge meets a global response.

Enjoyed the conversation with FM @JY_LeDrian & FM @MarisePayne at #Raisina2021 on Indo-Pacific partnerships today.

Another important plurilateral in the making.

Indo-Pacific is a strong message. India will not be boxed between Malacca Strait and the Gulf of Aden. Our interests & activities go way beyond. Australia and France are part of that canvas.
Multilateralism has fallen short. And bilateral delivery is not what it used to be. World moving towards multipolarity, rebalancing & plurilateralism. Shared values and comforts are creating new combinations. Will not fall for mind games.

Must-read interview by PM @narendramodi in @EconomicTimes today. 8 key takeaways for the international community-

m.economictimes.com/news/politics-…
1. India will become a global manufacturing hub on its own strengths. Our effort is not to become some country’s alternative, but to become a country which offers unique opportunities. We want to see the progress of all. If India progresses, 1/6th of humanity will progress.
2. We saw how a new world order was formed after World War II. Something similar will happen post COVID19. This time, India will ride the bus of manufacturing and integrating in global supply chains. We have specific advantages in the form of democracy, demography and demand.
