PM Narendra Modi condemned global interconnectedness weaponisation at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum today. Consequently, he positioned India as a reliable partner amidst mounting international uncertainties. Addressing global business leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised critical concerns regarding supply chain vulnerabilities. Specifically, he highlighted how global powers actively exploit technology, energy, and trade as instruments of dominance.
“The roots that globalization created in past decades, when and where they turned into chokepoints, we all are seeing this,” stated Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Meanwhile, he noted that the world searches for relief from one crisis, only for another challenge to emerge rapidly. Furthermore, essential payment systems and critical minerals now face increasing risks of systemic geopolitical exploitation.
