US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti says, "These are two men (PM Modi and Joe Biden) who have such a close friendship, the most pro-American prime minister we've ever seen in Indian history, the most pro-Indian president we've had in US history and that's building on people who have been very strong before. I think they are representative of the people in their country. The Quad is a powerful place to set a vision, to share principles and to come up with common solutions in the Indo-Pacific. It's a contrast to nations that don't want to play by the rules, don't believe in the rule of law, but I think we will build solutions. It's about what we can do proactively and this was a giant step forward."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the United Nations’ landmark Summit of the Future on Monday, highlighted the importance of collective strength over conflict in shaping the future of humanity.

Calling terrorism, a serious threat to global peace, PM Modi stated, "While on one hand, terrorism continues to be a serious threat to global peace and security, on the other hand, cyber, maritime and space are emerging as new theatres of conflict. On all these issues, I will stress that global action must match global ambition."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told the UN's Summit of the Future that the success of humanity lies in collective strength, not on the battlefield. Addressing the landmark summit here, Modi said that as the international community discusses the future of the world, the highest priority must be accorded to a "human-centric approach."

Speaking at Summit of the Future at the UN, PM Narendra Modi says, "Today, I am here to bring here the voice of the one-sixth of the humanity. We have elevated 250 million people out of poverty in India and we have shown that sustainable development can be successful. We are ready to share this experience of success with Global South."

'Success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield. For global peace and development, reforms in global institutions are important. Reform is the key to relevance,' says PM Modi at UNGA summit

He once joked that the first word children in India utter is AI (mother in some Indian languages). He later wisecracked that AI means artificial intelligence for the world, but for him, it also meant American-Indian spirit.

India is more actively working over challenges of climate change, war and peace, jobs, and employment, said Foreign Affairs expert Robinder Sachdev, adding, the country is now looking to play a very proactive role in partnering with the world in solving the challenges facing the world.

Speaking about PM Modi's visit to the US, he said, "We were talking Prime Minister's, I think key message in this trip to the United States, to the UN and with the world leaders is exactly this. This is not the era of war, this is the era to live and let live and with that thought and philosophy again as a practical point. Prime Minister is pushing for a single point peace plan to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. You see, Zelenskyy has a ten-point plan for stopping the Ukraine conflict on his own term."

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision around artificial intelligence (AI) and how he is pushing tech leaders to use it to address the most-pressing issues on the ground, Google is not only making a robust investment in AI in India but also looking forward to infusing more capital in the country, Alphabet and Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, has said.

Speaking on the sidelines of the CEOs’ roundtable with PM Modi here, Pichai said he is overwhelmed at the Prime Minister's focus on transforming the country with ‘Digital India’ vision.

“PM Modi has pushed us to continue making in India and designing in India. We are proud to now manufacture our Pixel phones in India. He is really thinking about how AI can transform the country in a way that benefits the people,” said Pichai.

These discussions will provide an opportunity for the Prime Minister to strengthen India's ties with key partners and discuss matters of mutual interest.
