External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar has said that search for solutions to crises like COVID, food, and energy security does not give due weight to the needs and aspirations of the Global South. Addressing the Foreign Ministers’ Session of the Voice of Global South Summit on Thursday, Dr Jaishankar said those who were promised an interconnected world now see a world with higher walls, insensitive to social needs and discriminatory in its health practices. He stated that India stands for three sensitive shifts in its case for a ‘Global South sensitive’ model. He elaborated that these shifts include moving from self-centered globalization to human-centered globalization and from debt-creating projects to demand-driven and sustainable development cooperation. He said going from being on receiving end of tech patronage to deploying Global South-led innovations for societal transformation is one of these shifts.

The Minister highlighted that India’s record speaks for itself. He pointed out that India's development projects in 78 countries are demand-driven, transparent, empowerment-oriented, environment-friendly, and rely on a consultative approach. He said it would be India's sincere endeavour to amplify convergences and speak as one voice on matters that are so critical to the peace and prosperity of societies.
