Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday “strongly condemned” the civilian casualties in the ongoing violence in Gaza Strip. Delivering the inaugural speech at the second virtual Voice of Global South Summit, Mr. Modi reiterated his condemnation of the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, and said that the Global South should speak in one voice on critical matters. He further announced that India is set to host a global partnership summit on artificial intelligence (AI) next month which will promote responsible use of technology to reduce the gap between developed and developing economies.
“We are all seeing that developments in West Asia are giving birth to new challenges. India has condemned the dastardly terror attack on Israel on October 7. We urged for restrained response along with dialogue and diplomacy. We strongly condemn the death of civilians in Israel-Hamas conflict,” said Prime Minister Modi in his remarks.
