PM Modi G20 Summit: India made a real splash at the G20 Summit, and a lot of that comes down to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s growing influence on the world stage. The summit wasn’t just about speeches—it was about action, and you could feel the shift in how India wants to be seen globally. Here’s what stood out and why it actually matters for India’s future.
Climate Finance: Time to Step Up
India didn’t beat around the bush on climate finance. Modi made it clear: developing countries can’t just snap their fingers and go green—they need real, predictable funding. He called out developed nations, pushing them to set actual timelines and own up to their promises. This isn’t just about money; it’s India saying, “We’re leading the Global South, and we want a fair deal.”
Championing the Global South
India doubled down on being the bridge between rich and developing countries. Modi pushed for more seats at the table for African, Asian, and island nations. He didn’t shy away from tough calls to reform big organizations like the UN and World Bank. It’s all about India wanting to be the go-to voice for emerging economies.
Digital and Tech Partnerships Get Real
Tech was a big theme, and India’s not just talking about it—they’re living it. Building on homegrown successes like UPI and Aadhaar, Modi talked up new partnerships in AI, cybersecurity, and digital payments. India’s ready to move from being a tech user to being the one offering solutions to the world.
Securing Supply Chains and Trade
With global tensions running high, India hammered home the need for supply chains that don’t fall apart when things get tough. Modi pointed to India’s expanding manufacturing—thanks to Make in India and PLI schemes—as a reason for the world to look here when they want to diversify. Countries are listening, and India’s reputation as a steady trade partner just got a boost.
Focus on Food, Energy, and the Seas
India put food security, clean energy, and safe sea routes right at the centre of the conversation. Modi called for everyone to work together, especially as wars, climate disasters, and troubled shipping lanes keep popping up. India’s not waiting around—it wants to be seen as a key player in keeping things stable worldwide.
