In the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) session held on July 17 at the United Nations in New York, PM Narendra Modi said that India’s developmental motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas’ resonates with the core SDG principle of leaving no one behind.
Addressing the session, Modi said that India’s success in improving the socio-economic indicators of its vast population makes a significant impact on global SDG targets.
He also spoke on India’s commitment to support other developing countries in meeting their SDG targets.
This was the first address by PM to the broader UN membership since India’s overwhelming election as a non-permanent member of the Security Council on 17th June, for the term 2021-22.
