Prime Miminster Narendra Modi today in his virtual address to the United Nations at the High-Level Segment of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), his first since India was overwhelmingly elected as a non-permanent member of the powerful Security Council last month said, “In the fight against Covid, our grass-roots health system is helping India ensure one of the best recovery rates in the world. We are also on track to remove TB by 2025,” he said, adding, “be it earthquakes, cyclones, Ebola crisis or any other natural or man-made crisis, India has responded with speed and solidarity. In our joint fight against COVID, we have extended medical and other assistance to over 150 countries.”

“Our motto is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas’ – meaning ‘Together, for everyone’s growth, with everyone’s trust’. This resonates with the core SDG principle of leaving no one behind". 
 

PM Modi stressed that from the very beginning, India has actively supported the UN's development work and the ECOSOC. "The first president of ECOSOC was an Indian. India also contributed to shaping the ECOSOC agenda," he said. 

India is with the world and the world is with India.
