He passionately called upon the entire world to transform this deficit into mutual confidence. PM Modi remarked, “This is a time when age-old challenges are calling for new solutions from us. And therefore, with a human-centric approach, we have to move forward to fulfill our responsibilities.”He further addressed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the urgency of bridging the trust deficit that has arisen in its wake. PM Modi expressed hope, stating, “When we can defeat Covid, we can also achieve victory over this trust deficit crisis.”
