Modi Calls for Plan to Reform Global Governance System
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said countries of the Global South face global crises but are sidelined in decision-making, according to a report by Russian news agency TASS.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for the preparation of a plan to reform the global governance system, according to a report by the Russian news agency TASS.
TASS quoted Modi as saying that "today, the countries of the Global South are at the forefront of those who face global crises but stay in the background when it comes to making decisions."
The remarks, as reported by TASS, suggest Modi is pressing for changes to international institutions to give greater representation and decision-making power to developing nations, which he described as bearing the brunt of global crises without a corresponding say in how such crises are addressed.
TASS did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific forum, date, or additional context of Modi's remarks, nor did it specify which institutions or mechanisms Modi proposed to reform.
This report is based on information published by TASS; further details on the specific proposals or the setting in which the remarks were made were not immediately available.
