"Spoke at the first session of the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, which focussed on inclusive and sustainable growth. With Africa hosting the G20 Summit for the first time, NOW is the right moment for us to revisit our development parameters and focus on growth that is inclusive and sustainable. India's civilisational values, especially the principle of Integral Humanism offers a way forward," PM posted on X after his address at the session in Johannesburg which was titled 'Inclusive and sustainable economic growth leaving no one behind'.

Recognising that many communities across the world preserve eco-balanced, culturally rich, and socially cohesive ways of living, Modi proposed the creation of a 'Global Traditional Knowledge Repository' under the G20.

India's Indian Knowledge Systems initiative can form the base for this platform, he opined stating that the repository will document and share traditional wisdom that demonstrates time-tested models of sustainable living, ensuring that this knowledge is carried forward to future generations.
