Prime Minister Narendra Modi, attending the G7 summit in Evian, France as a special invitee, called on countries to move beyond a “donor-recipient” mindset and build partnerships rooted in equality and unity.
In his address, Modi said trust is essential to strengthen cooperation among nations. He noted that India’s foreign policy is guided by the ideas of “the world is one family” and “humanity first.”
He also stressed that technological progress should remain human-centric. Referring to India’s artificial intelligence initiatives, he said they are designed with the principle that the benefits should reach everyone.
Modi said India’s participation as a special invitee serves as an important bridge to bring the needs and voices of developing countries to the global stage.
On the sidelines of the event, he met and held discussions with leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
