Participating in the Outreach Session of the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called for "strict action against countries who support and promote terrorism."
His statements assume significance at a time when Pakistan's Chief of the Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir is in the United States and will meet President Donald Trump over lunch in White House on Wednesday.
Emphasising the security challenges, PM Modi called upon countries to strengthen the global fight against terrorism.
Thanking the global community for their strong support to India in its fight against terrorism, PM Modi expressed that the "Pahalgam terror attack was not just an assault on India, but on the entire humanity."
On the ongoing conflicts, particularly the high intensity war between Iran and Israel, PM Modi expressed that "uncertainty and conflicts in various parts of the world have had a debilitating impact on the countries of the Global South, and India took it as its responsibility to make the voice of the Global South heard at the world stage."
He also underlined that it was important for the world to understand the priorities and concerns of the Global South if the international community was serious about a sustainable future.
