Modi at G7: Championing Global South, Green Energy & AI for All
Kananaskis, Canada – Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi yesterday made a powerful statement at the 51st G7 Summit's Outreach Session in Kananaskis,Canada, advocating for a future where energy is accessible and affordable, technology serves humanity, and global cooperation tackles the gravest threats. His address, delivered at a session focused on ‘Energy Security: diversification, technology and infrastructure to ensure access and affordability in a changing world,’ resonated deeply, celebrating the G7's 50th year and emphasizing India's pivotal role on the world stage.
India's Vision for Energy Security: The 4 A's
Acknowledging energy security as a critical challenge for generations to come, PM Modi outlined India's principled approach: Availability, Accessibility, Affordability, and Acceptability. He underscored India's remarkable achievement of meeting its Paris Commitments ahead of schedule, even as the world's fastest-growing major economy. This commitment to a sustainable and green future isn't just rhetoric; it's backed by ambitious global initiatives like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, Mission LiFE, and One Sun-One World-One Grid, all of which he urged the international community to bolster.
Voice of the Global South, Stand Against Terror
In a world grappling with uncertainty and conflicts, PM Modi emphasized India's unwavering commitment to amplifying the voice of the Global South. He stressed that understanding the priorities and concerns of these nations is crucial for a truly sustainable global future.
Shifting to security challenges, the Prime Minister delivered a searing indictment of terrorism. Thanking the global community for their support in India's fight, he highlighted the recent Pahalgam terror attack as an assault on all humanity, not just India. He unequivocally called for "strict action against countries who support and promote terrorism," demanding an end to "double standards" and asserting that "those who support terrorism should never be rewarded."
He challenged the international community with profound questions:
- Will nations only comprehend the grave threat of terrorism when they themselves become targets?
- How can perpetrators of terror and their victims ever be equated?
- Will global institutions remain silent spectators to terrorism?
AI, Technology, and a Human-Centric Future
PM Modi also delved into the evolving nexus of technology, AI, and energy. While acknowledging AI's immense potential for efficiency and innovation, he highlighted its energy-intensive nature, urging strategies for sustainability through clean and green initiatives. India's human-centric approach to technology was emphasized, with Modi stating that any effective technology must genuinely improve the lives of ordinary people.
PM Modi stressed the importance of addressing global governance issues related to AI to both tackle concerns and foster innovation. Furthermore, in this AI age, the need for secured and resilient supply chains of critical minerals was underlined, with India's abundant and diverse data being a key asset for responsible AI development.
People and Planet at the Core
Concluding his powerful address, PM Modi underscored that a technology-led world demands closer international cooperation for a sustainable future. He passionately articulated that to achieve this, "people and planet must be kept at the centre of progress."
Prime Minister Modi's participation at the G7 Summit served as a clear signal of India's growing leadership and its unwavering commitment to a more secure, sustainable, and equitable world for all.
