The topics being discussed are very relevant - disaster resilience and debt sustainability for low-income countries. Hope India's representatives are also taking notes for our own policy making.

While I appreciate the international cooperation, I wish there was more focus on immediate regional issues. Sometimes these global summits become talking shops without concrete outcomes. Still, better to engage than isolate.

The women parliamentarians meeting focusing on climate resilience and economic empowerment is much needed! Women bear the brunt of climate change impacts in many developing countries including India.

Critical minerals discussion is timely. India has significant mineral resources that need sustainable development. Hope our parliamentarians are learning from such international best practices. 🇮🇳

Good to see Middle Eastern countries actively participating in global governance. UAE's involvement shows how emerging economies are taking leadership roles in international diplomacy.
