Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called for a reformed multilateralism with a reformed United Nations at its centre as he delivered a keynote address virtually at this year’s high-level segment of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) session. The Prime Minister reiterated India’s call for a ‘reformed multilateralism’ in a post-COVID-19 world, which reflects the realities of the contemporary world. In his address, Modi recalled India’s long association with the ECOSOC and the UN’s developmental work, including for the Sustainable Development Goals. "Our motto is 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas' - meaning 'Together, for everyone's growth, with everyone's trust'. This was the second time that Prime Minister addressed the ECOSOC.
