India To Host Third Voice Of Global South Summit

India will host the 3rd Voice of Global South Summit on 17 August 2024. This unique initiative began as an extension of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas aur Sabka Prayas’, and is underpinned by India’s philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Third Voice of Global South Summit (VOGSS) in virtual format

Similar to the previous two Summits, the 3rd VOGSS will be held in virtual format and is structured into Leaders’ Session and Ministerial sessions. The inaugural session would be at Head of State / Government level and will be hosted by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The theme of the Inaugural Leaders’ Session is the same as the overarching theme of the Summit, i.e., “An Empowered Global South for a Sustainable Future”.

Bring together countries of the Global South

It envisages bringing together countries of the Global South to share their perspectives and priorities on a common platform across a whole range of issues.

Theme of this 3rd VOGES

The 3rd VOGSS, with the overarching theme of “An Empowered Global South for a Sustainable Future”, will act as a platform to expand discussions held in the previous Summits on a range of complex challenges that continue to affect the world, such as conflicts, food and energy security crises, climate change – all of which disproportionately affect developing countries in a severe manner. At the Summit, the countries of the Global South would continue deliberations on challenges, priorities, and solutions for the Global South, particularly in the developmental domain.

1st and 2nd Voice of Global South Summit (VOGSS)

India had hosted the 1st Voice of Global South Summit (VOGSS) on 12-13 January 2023, and the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit on 17 November 2023, both in virtual format. Both the previous editions of the Summit saw participation of over 100 countries from the Global South. The inputs and feedback received from the leaders of the developing countries in these two Summits was appropriately reflected in the agenda and discussions of the G-20 Summit under India’s Presidency last year, including in the G-20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration.

 In addition, there will be 10 Ministerial Sessions, with the following themes:

  • Foreign Ministers’ Session on “Charting a Unique Paradigm for Global South”
  • Health Ministers’ Session on “One World-One Health
  • Youth Ministers’ Session on “Youth Engagement for a Better Future
  • Commerce/Trade Ministers’ Session on “Trade for Development- Perspectives from Global South
  • Information & Technology Ministers’ Session on “DPIs for Development- A Global South Approach
  • Finance Ministers’ Session on “People-Centric Approach to Global Finance
  • 2nd Foreign Ministers’ Session on “Global South and Global Governance
