Delhi, India - Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his appreciation for the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) and its focus on the global south. He made these remarks during a recent public address.

“It is heartening that CDRI also has a focus on the global south,” said PM Modi. He emphasized the importance of this focus, given the unique challenges and vulnerabilities faced by countries in the global south in terms of disaster resilience.

During his speech, PM Modi also highlighted the significant strides made during India’s G20 presidency. “During India’s G20 presidency, an important step was taken,” he said.

The formation of the Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group and the growth of CDRI are seen as critical steps towards enhancing global disaster resilience. These initiatives aim to foster international cooperation and provide a platform for sharing best practices and resources.

PM Modi’s remarks underscore India’s commitment to leading global efforts in disaster risk reduction and resilience. They also highlight the importance of international cooperation and inclusive approaches, such as focusing on the global south, in these efforts.

The Prime Minister’s comments have been well-received, with many lauding India’s leadership in global disaster resilience efforts and the focus on inclusive and sustainable approaches.

As the world grapples with the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters due to climate change, initiatives like CDRI and the Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group are more important than ever. They represent hope for a more resilient future, where nations are better equipped to mitigate the impacts of disasters and protect their citizens.
