Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India
The Global South is today in the front row of global crises, but in the back row of decision-making. We must transform this “pyramid of privilege” into a “platform of partnership”, where every country has a voice, every member has a stake, and the advancement of humanity remains at the heart of every endeavour.

Global South आज वैश्विक संकटों की front row में है, लेकिन decision-making की back row में। हमें इस “pyramid of privilege” को “platform of partnership” में बदलना है, जहां हर देश की आवाज़ हो, हर सदस्य का stake हो और हर प्रयास के केंद्र में मानवता का विकास हो।
