A top United Nations official has hailed India for its “thoughtful leadership and commitment” to advancing high-impact South-South cooperation, as New Delhi stressed that it has never let geography or geometry "define us” as it assists countries across the developing world.
India’s Permanent Mission to the U.N. organised a special event here on October 7 Friday to mark the fifth anniversary of the $150 million India-U.N. Development Fund.
Addressing the event, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said in a video message that the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated in stark terms the need for global, intergenerational solidarity and new ways to cooperate towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
