United Nations: The United Nations has also become crazy about India’s style and PM Modi’s working style. Dennis Francis, the President of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, has openly praised India for this. He said that India has been an enthusiastic and committed supporter of multilateralism. Francis said that as the world’s largest democracy with a population of 1.4 billion, India has a bright future to make a strong contribution to global affairs. Francis made these comments before the end of his one-year term as the head of this session of the 193-member United Nations General Assembly.
Francis said, “There is no doubt – India is definitely a leading country in the United Nations. India has been an enthusiastic and committed supporter of multilateralism, which is given great importance by the United Nations.” Former Cameroon Prime Minister Philemon Yang will take over as the President of the 79th session of the General Assembly on September 10. Francis said he expects India’s role in the world body to continue and grow stronger. “We know that India has the ambition to become a permanent member of the Security Council. Members will decide on how they want to reform the council, which countries will be most suitable to represent member states and how powers will be divided,” he said.
India is difficult to ignore
“With India being a democracy with a population of 1.4 billion, I believe that no one can ignore the fact that India has a bright future to continue to make strong contributions to global affairs,” Francis said. He said India has demonstrated “great commitment” as an advanced developing country in sharing its expertise with other developing countries in the ‘Global South’ in the context of South-South cooperation, for which the Indian government should be applauded.
Last week, India’s designated Permanent Representative to the United Nations Parthavaneni Harish met Francis at the UN headquarters. In a post on ‘X’, Ambassador Harish said that he benefited from Francis’ views on various issues of mutual interest. He also appreciated the support India received from the General Assembly during Francis’ tenure.
