great fundamental challenge before the world community. He insisted that domestic policy and action of every country must get support from international regimes and frameworks to put
everyone on the path of development. The Prime Minister also highlighted how United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development could be an enabler to transform societies and bridge deep

Agreement in letter and spirit, unleashing agricultural productivity and innovation that has a close link with enhanced food security. Prime Minister Modi earlier held his first bilateral
