Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday urged the international community to work together to address global security challenges. Speaking at the Ambassadors’ Round Table in New Delhi, a prelude to Aero India 2025, Singh highlighted the need for unity among nations to ensure peace and prosperity.

“It is of paramount importance that like-minded countries should strive together for collective actions for peace and prosperity. Without these, our future generations will not be able to take advantage of economic growth or technological innovations that we are experiencing in today’s era,” Singh said to Ambassadors and High Commissioners from various countries.

He underscored India’s role as a voice for the Global South, advocating a multi-aligned approach to address shared challenges. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has articulated India’s commitment to addressing global challenges through five guiding principles: Respect, Dialogue, Cooperation, Peace and Prosperity,” Singh said. He added that the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, or “One Earth, One Family,” forms the basis of India’s approach to global partnerships.
