• A fragmented world is in the interest of no one: Indian PM
• Modi says they have the authority and will to warn the world against "terrorism"
• Face of the world is changing and modern technology is bringing about dramatic changes: Modi

(Karachi) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that for the sake of humanity it is absolutely essential for the world to unite against terrorism as it remains the biggest threat to the world. He said this while addressing the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday.

He maintained, “The face of the world is changing and modern technology is bringing about dramatic changes in different spheres of life. In such a situation, a fragmented world is in the interest of no one.” The Indian prime minister said, “India has contributed vehemently to the UN Peace keeping forces. We have the authority and the will to warn the world against terrorism.”

Narendra Modi said as the world is going through a new era, the countries do not have the option to confine themselves within their boundaries.

He pointed out that India was one of the leading nations in the fight against climate change, though its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions was “very low”. In his address, the Indian prime minister elaborated on the steps taken by his government to fight climate change. “On one hand, we are working towards achieving the target of 450 Giga Watts of renewable energy, and on the other hand, we have also taken the initiative to create the International Solar Alliance,” he said.
