Isha Ambani: The recent India Day @ UNGA week in New York hosted high-level dialogues centered around an expanding leadership role for India in the Global South. This is jointly organized by Reliance Foundation with ORF and the UN in India office; an event that was crucial for mutual validation of insights and strategies for sustainable development beyond 2030.
Isha Ambani’s Vision for a New Global Order
Speaking on this event, Isha Ambani, Director of Reliance Foundation said, “This week, as leaders from around the world gather in New York to discuss equitable development, it is clear that our world is changing rapidly. India in particular, is stepping into its rightful place, shaping the new global order. But this moment is more than just about change—it’s about creating a better future together, especially for our youth. The challenges we face are many, but by working together, we can make real progress.”
India Day @ UNGA Week- Shaping a Sustainable Future for the Global South
With the above round of discussions, there were some potentially impactful ideas to discuss, including sustainable consumption, resilient infrastructure finance, and ethics in economic systems. Indeed, this puts into great perspective the importance of cooperation in dealing with rising inequalities and vulnerabilities that many countries face today.
An emphasis on cooperation rather than competition fits in with visions of balanced development, particularly since, with global attention now focused on the rise of Brazil’s leadership and subsequent possible future development, it is building up to a sustainable and inclusive future with voices from the Global South; the talk was not about short-term obstacles or hurdles but paved a path to a sustainable and inclusive future with increased noise on the global stage by the Global South.
As India forges to position herself as a key player in global governance, the kind of events at play around ‘India Day @ UNGA week’ become testament to the fact that it is building its commitment to foster partnerships and shared goals toward shaping a better tomorrow. Hope for an equitable and sustainable world for all is in this effort towards collective enthusiasm.
