Ideals of India, UN Shared: PM
“When we were strong, we were never a threat to the world, when we were weak, we never became a burden. Ideals on which the UN was founded, and India's very own fundamental philosophy have much in common. Within the halls of the UN, one has often heard the words, the world is one family. We treat the whole world as a family,” PM Modi said.
“India sent its brave soldiers to about 15 countries to keep peace. India has lost the maximum number of its soldiers in keeping peace. Every Indian, aspires for India's expanded role in the UN, seeing India's contributions towards it.”
