PM Modi speaks on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure 2023
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized the need for an integrated response to disasters. He said that a disaster in one region can have a big impact on a completely different region in a closely connected world.
In his video address at the International Conference on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure 2023, he noted that 40 countries have become part of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure in a few years.
The conference has become an important platform for advanced and developing economies, large and small countries, and the global north and global south to come together on one platform, he said.
The prime minister also said infrastructure is not merely about returns but also about reach and resilience.
While stressing having a holistic view of infrastructure, PM Modi added that infrastructure should leave none behind and should serve people, including in times of crisis.
