Singapore's Parliamentary Speaker, Seah Kian Peng, stated on Saturday that India and his home country had joined forces to combat terrorism, emphasizing Prime Minister Modi's people-centered policies.
"Unfortunately, I believe terrorism has descended upon us, and this is something we can all agree on." I believe that between India and Singapore, we are all on the same page. The need for us to deal with it so that terrorist attacks are not allowed to occur. That, I believe, is something that all governments should undertake. "I believe Prime Minister Modi's policies are always centered on people," he remarked.
Furthermore, Singapore's Deputy High Commissioner, Alice Cheng, expressed her satisfaction at being invited as a guest country to the G20 summit and stated that the G20 conference is extremely beneficial in shaping the world's future.
"You have beautiful artisans and wonderful cloth," she added. You have wonderful fabric in every state...Singapore is a G20 invited guest, as is G20 President India. We are delighted to be able to attend the P20 Summit, which provides a valuable venue for developed and developing countries to exchange ideas on how to build our world."
On Saturday, the two-day P20 Summit in New Delhi closed successfully, with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla praising all dignitaries for their contributions to the event's success in India.
The joint declaration for the 9th G20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit (P20) was approved with consensus on the first day of the summit to participate in parliamentary diplomacy and conversation in relevant fora as a catalyst for fostering international peace.
The declaration concluded by reaffirming the members' resolve to continue "joint work to make an effective and meaningful parliamentary contribution to the G20 process, as appreciated by the G20 Leaders."
"I am confident the discussions that were held on SDGs, green energy, women-led development and digital public infrastructure and your valuable views and inputs will further strengthen the G20 process for human-centered development," Om Birla stated at the end of the plenary session.
"The discussions held over the past two days have clearly underlined the importance of the parliamentary dimension of the G20 and have also established how our Parliaments can work together to achieve the collective goals of One Earth, One Family and One Future," Birla said in a statement.
The participating dignitaries expressed gratitude to the Indian Parliament for hosting the 9th G20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit and for its warm hospitality. They also congratulate India on the inauguration of its new Parliament building this year, which is in keeping with the country's ancient traditions of citizen participation in governance and decision-making.
The P20 Summit is being held by India as part of the country's G20 Presidency. The event serves as an international arena for discussion and debate.
Prime Minister Modi opened the P20 Summit and addressed dignitaries on Friday, calling it the "mahakumbh" of global legislative norms.
The Summit's theme is Parliaments for One Earth, One Family, One Future, which is based on the ancient Indian philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The World is One Family).
