NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday flagged concerns over the consequences of global uncertainties on developing countries, especially in areas of food and energy securities.

In his opening remarks at the third Voice of Global South Summit, Modi also assured the participating countries of India’s unwavering commitment to extend full support to them in various key areas, including in the domain of digital public infrastructure.

India hosted the summit in a virtual format.

“Today we are meeting at a time when there is an atmosphere of uncertainty all around. The world has not yet completely come out of the impact of Covid. On the other hand, the situation of war has created challenges for our development journey,” Modi said.

“We are not only facing the challenges of climate change, but now there are also concerns about health security, food security, and energy security,” he said.

The prime minister also referred to challenges of terrorism, extremism and separatism.

“Terrorism, extremism and separatism remain serious threats to our societies,” he said.
