New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a NDA meeting on Saturday said a new world order will take shape after the Covid- 19 pandemic and India will have a major role to play in it.

Union Parliamentary Minister Pralhad Joshi in a tweet said that ” Prime Minister Narendra Modi Addressing the meeting of NDA leaders, PM Shri @NarendraModi ji today said that after the pandemic, a new world order is about to take shape & India has a big role to play in the emerging new world order”.

He also said in the tweet that “the decade is a very important one, just like the decade after 2nd world war, unlike earlier; we are not going to be a mute spectator. We will rise to the occasion based on our traditions and ideals of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the Prime Minister”.
Last week, PM Modi hailed India’s response to the Covid- 19 pandemic as among the best in the world and said the country’s role as the biggest vaccine-maker, critical for a disease-free world, has earned it a lot of goodwill.

The pandemic has also seen the Prime Minister renew plans for making India a hub of manufacturing and enterprise and become self-reliant with the Government’s project of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat”. In a boost for the idea, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday projected an 11.5 per cent growth rate for India in 2021, making the country the only major economy of the world to register double-digit growth this year amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
