Text of Prime Minister’s Keynote Address at the PMNCH Partners’ Forum in New Delhi
Distinguished dignitaries on the dais,
Delegates from India and abroad,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Namaste,
A very warm welcome to all the delegates from across the world to the Partners’ Forum, 2018.
It is only partnerships that will get us to our goals. Partnerships between citizens, Partnerships between communities, Partnerships between countries. The Sustainable Development agenda is a reflection of this.
Countries have moved beyond stand-alone efforts. They are committed to empowering communities, improving health and education, ending poverty and spurring boosting economic growth and ultimately, leaving no one behind. The health of mothers will determine the health of the children and the health of children will determine the health of our tomorrow.
We have gathered to discuss and deliberate ways to improve the health and well-being of mothers and children. The out-come of our discussions today will have a great impact on our tomorrow.
The Partners’ Forum vision is in line with India’s ancient wisdom of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, ‘The World is one family’. It is also in line with my government’s philosophy of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas”, which means, collective efforts and partnerships for inclusive growth.
