India at UN forum: Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery calls India an 'anchor of stability', highlights growth-led development model
India's sustained economic growth positions it as an 'anchor of stability' for the world at a time of deep uncertainty and shifting global dynamics, Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery said at the United Nations on Monday. Addressing the ministerial segment of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Goals at UN Headquarters, Bery said the world urgently needs 'anchors of stability, new engines of growth and development models that can be scaled and shared.' 'India, with its unique strengths and experience, is ready and willing to offer all three.' he added, quoted PTI. He described India as a vibrant democracy with steadily improving socio-economic indicators, enabled by inclusive digital technologies, principled reforms, and a focus on empowering all segments of society. 'India's sustained economic growth makes it an anchor of stability for the global community and an example of what is possible,' Bery said. Bery emphasised India's commitment to the Global South, saying the country's development path offers lessons in scale, speed, and stability. 'India's development journey, marked by scale, speed and stability, offers a credible and replicable pathway for fellow developing countries,' he told the international gathering. He noted that an estimated 248 million Indians escaped poverty between 2013-14 and 2022-23, and that India now hosts the world's largest cohort of youth entering the workforce. 'India is committed to making sure they have a bright and productive future,' he said. 'India's journey demonstrates that inclusive and sustainable development is both possible and scalable,' he said, pointing to the country's efforts in extending concessional finance, sharing digital governance tools, and supporting solar infrastructure in fellow developing nations. With the UN marking 80 years, Bery reaffirmed India's commitment to multilateralism. 'The UN must continue to serve as a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable development. India supports a more representative and effective UN system that reflects contemporary realities and empowers all nations to shape our shared future,' he said. UN Secretary-General António Guterres, in his address to the forum, said that rising global conflicts, economic headwinds, and mounting inequalities are threatening to derail progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. 'The SDGs are still within reach—if we act with urgency and ambition,' Guterres said, urging nations not to surrender to the growing strain on the international system.
