India called on the countries of the Global South on Friday to work towards self-reliance to mitigate vulnerabilities vis-a-vis economic concentrations, noting that the COVID-19 era was a stark reminder of the perils of dependence for basic necessities on far-away geographies.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said this while addressing the second edition of the India-hosted Voice of Global South Summit.
He also highlighted the achievements of India’s G20 presidency and how it sincerely worked to address challenges facing the Global South or the developing nations.
