Bill Gates praised Prime Minister Modi and the G20 for agreeing on
how important digital public systems are to speed up the Sustainable
Development Goals.
He shared this news on X (Twitter) as, "The #G20 reached a
groundbreaking consensus on the role of digital public infrastructure as a
critical accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals."
"I'm optimistic about the potential of DPI to support a
safer, healthier, and more just world. Kudos to PM @narendramodi," he
wrote.
DPI, which stands for digital public infrastructure, means
creating essential tools like digital IDs, payment systems, and data sharing
solutions. These tools help governments offer important services, make citizens
more empowered, and make life better by including everyone digitally. DPIs are
technology-based platforms that work together, are open for everyone, and help
with important public and private services. They play a big part in making sure
everyone can join the digital revolution.
On Saturday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar talked about something called the New Delhi Declaration, which the G20 leaders agreed on. This declaration is all about making sure we have strong, long-lasting, fair, and inclusive growth. It also wants to speed up our progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The G20 leaders, through this declaration, promised to work
together to make progress on the SDGs happen faster. They will do this by
following a plan for 2023, which has some important principles to help achieve
these goals.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that everyone
agreed on the New Delhi G20 Leaders' Summit Declaration, and they officially
accepted it.
