- November 17, 2023India hosted the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit on 17 November 2023, in virtual format under the overarching theme – ‘Together, For Everyone's Growth, With Everyone's Trust’.

Following on India's endeavour to provide a voice to the Global South, the Summit saw deliberations on the challenges faced by the Global South and Global South answers to address them, in the backdrop of growing uncertainty, conflict, geopolitical tensions across the world. Further, the Summit served as a platform to discuss ways to sustain the momentum generated towards our common aspiration of a more inclusive, representative and progressive world order.
