Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again placed India at the forefront of international efforts to strengthen solidarity among developing nations, reaffirming the country&rsquo;s enduring commitment to the Global South.
During his recent engagements at multilateral summits and diplomatic visits, PM Modi stressed the need to reform global institutions to reflect the voices of emerging economies. He called for equitable partnerships focused on mutual growth, particularly in areas like clean energy, digital infrastructure, public health, and counter terrorism.
Speaking alongside leaders from Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, Modi outlined a cooperative framework that avoids debt heavy assistance and instead prioritizes resource sharing, skill development, and technology transfer tailored to the needs of developing countries.
India&rsquo;s outreach has been anchored in what the Prime Minister refers to as a 'people first' model providing educational scholarships, disaster aid, and climate resilience funding without imposing financial strain.
At home, India has launched the Dakshin Centre of Excellence, aimed at researching and exporting scalable development models for the Global South. The initiative is seen as a cornerstone for South-South cooperation, enabling governments to learn from India&rsquo;s own digital transformation and social welfare systems.
India has also emerged as a leader in global initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), both of which are designed to support vulnerable nations in facing energy and climate challenges.
In private bilateral meetings, PM Modi reiterated India&rsquo;s interest in deeper collaboration with nations like South Africa, Cuba, Malaysia, and Vietnam. These talks focused on trade, clean tech, healthcare innovation, and regional peace highlighting India&rsquo;s aim to build long-term strategic partnerships beyond the conventional donor-recipient model.
As global leadership debates intensify and developing nations seek a stronger voice in international affairs, India&rsquo;s role under Modi continues to evolve less as a benefactor, and more as a collaborator shaping a future where growth is accessible, inclusive, and sustainable.
