Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, Sasmit Patra called
for an inclusive approach by the world to tackle the big challenges faced by
humanity and reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to overcome global
trust deficiency, on Friday.
The Rajya Sabha MP was speaking at the 147th
Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly at Luanda in Angola.
He said, “The youth of the world are not untouched by
what is happening across the world. As spoken by Prime Minister of Bharat in
his address at the P-20 forum as part of the G-20 in New Delhi a few days back.
A divided world cannot provide solutions to the major challenges faced by
humanity. This is a time for growth and well-being of all. We have to overcome
the global trust deficit and move forward on human-centric thinking.”
In his address, the RS MP affirmed the G20 Bharat summit
theme of One Earth, One Family, One Future and mentioned the African Union
getting permanent membership of G20 after Bharat’s proposal.
He added, “We have to look at the world in the spirit
of One Earth, One Family, One Future. In this spirit, Bharat proposed to make
the African Union a permanent member of the G20 and we were glad that all G20
member countries accepted it. We were very happy to see the participation of
the Pan Africa Parliament in the P20 forum in New Delhi a few days back.”
The IPU is the global organization of national
parliaments. It began in 1889 as a small group of parliamentarians, dedicated
to promoting peace through parliamentary diplomacy and dialogue, and has since
grown into a global organization with 180 Members and 14 Associate Members.
The IPU facilitates parliamentary diplomacy and
empowers Parliaments and Parliamentarians to promote peace, democracy and
sustainable development around the world.
