Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the second Voice of Global South Summit on November 17. This will be the second Voice of Global South Summit in less than a year hosted by India.
The first virtual summit witnessed participation by 125 countries of the Global South and was dominated by the Ukraine war, but the upcoming summit is expected to echo the rumblings of the Israeli military operation in Gaza strip. It is also going to reflect India’s evolving equation with the bloc of Global South countries as nearly all countries voted in favour of a ceasefire in Gaza strip on October 26 at the UN General Assembly when India abstained.
