During his address, PM Modi emphasized that nature and disasters have no borders.

PM Modi underscored the necessity of supporting the most vulnerable to achieve shared resilience effectively.

PM further expressed appreciation for CDRI’s emphasis on the Global South, noting its importance. He further highlighted a significant milestone during India’s G20 Presidency.

PM Modi asserted that a new Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group was formed with financing at the heart of the discussions.

In conclusion, Prime Minister Modi underscored the vulnerability of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to disasters. He praised CDRI for its Program, which funds projects across 13 such locations.
