UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis has lauded India’s use of digitalisation that has helped achieve financial inclusion and poverty reduction, underlining that this gives the country a “comparative advantage” and its lessons can be shared with the global community.
“Let me say first of all that since I've been to India, every time I think of India, I think ‘Incredible India’. And I mean this in all earnest ….And I saw it when I was there. The specific example to which I can refer is India's use of digitalisation,” Mr. Francis, President of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, told PTI in an exclusive interview in United Nations.
He referred to the country's tourism tagline of 'Incredible India.' Mr. Francis was in India from January 22-26 this year on an official visit, during which he held a bilateral meeting with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in New Delhi and also travelled to Jaipur and Mumbai.
