#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@samirsaran: This edition of the Raisina Dialogue is special. It is the first Dialogue in India’s #AmritKaal, or 'Golden Age’—an epoch marking the 25 years leading up to a century of India’s independence.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@samirsaran: #AmritKaal is when the population of this country will be lifted to decent standards of living; when the state will grow in its capacity to serve the needs of not just its own citizens but those of the world.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@samirsaran: 2023 is also significant for India as it is the year of #India’s Presidency of the #G20—a group of nations that are pivotal to the world’s future because their actions have cascading regional and global consequences.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@samirsaran: The failures of the #G20 countries will hurt the world; and their successes will lift all.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023 #G20India

.@samirsaran: As the world is being battered by a perfect storm, multiple beacons are needed to illuminate the way. #India seeks to be one of them, and to inspire others to be the same.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023 #G20India #G20

.@SunjoyJ: 2020 came and instead of a clear well-lit road to #sustainable prosperity, it hit a series of blind-spots. The idea of #globalisation itself as an engine of growth lies broken and rudderless.

#RaisinaDialogue2023 #Raisina2023

.@SunjoyJ: As we assemble for the 8th edition of the #RaisinaDialogue, the challenge is to respond to a world where #multilateralism lies fatally wounded in wars that spill into domains that no Geneva Convention controls.

#Raisina2023 #G20India #G20

.@SunjoyJ: #Trade, global finance, energy, food--everything has become a weapon. A hyper-connected world, hyperventilating on #Twitter 24X7, where the pandemic of hate & anger spreads with far greater virulence than #Covid19 itself.

#Raisina2023 #G20India #G20

.@SunjoyJ: As business of governance becomes more complex, we need new rules of the road, because we no longer travel just as a community of states, but have been joined by a multitude of new actors who can traverse these highways with far greater speed.

#Raisina2023

.@SunjoyJ: We see #technology constantly moving to substitute agency-led order and norms by discrete anonymised protocols for finance, trade, commerce, and communication. For good or for bad, it is difficult to tell.

#Raisina2023

.@SunjoyJ: Our hope is that #RaisinaDialogue can be the most influential of these platforms during India’s #G20 Presidency, a forum where each one of us contributes to the quest for answers & becomes part of the lighthouse that guides the ship back safely to shore.

#Raisina2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #Italy shares a special responsibility with the #G20 countries. It is a period of unprecedented turbulence and nothing is more certain than uncertainty. We need a lighthouse in these times.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #Italy’s vision is ensuring prosperity and lasting #peace through collaboration on equal footing without coercion, economic or otherwise.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: Much like #energy transition, #digital transition is also based on connectivity. The Blue-Raman project will link the European economy to the #IndoPacific.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: Global interconnections have allowed our #economy to trade, but it has come at a cost. What happens in the #IndoPacific has direct consequences for #Europe.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #Italy and #India share a profound similarity with rich culture dating back millennia where peace and prosperity go hand in hand. We have had to overcome similar struggles.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #Terrorism is a concern that needs to be faced by a wide coalition of international countries.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #India is a key player in the #IndoPacific and #Italy is a key stakeholder in the mediterranean.

#PMModi and I have announced the scaling up of #India-Italy bilateral relationship to a strategic partnership.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: Global coordination on #climate change should not be a zero sum game and #IndoPacific countries led by #India have a strong role to play in this regard.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@GiorgiaMeloni: #India’s leadership in #G20 and the #RaisinaDialogue together can send a message of cooperation and peace to the world.
