Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on Monday (21 September) said that the United Nations (UN) faces a "crisis of confidence" without comprehensive reforms, reports Times of India.
Pressing for the urgent need for a reformed multilateralism which would reflect the present-day world's realities, PM Modi emphasised on the objectives of giving voice to all of UN's stakeholders, addressing contemporary challenges and focusing on human welfare.

We commit to instil new life in the discussions on the reform of the SC and continue the work to revitalise the General Assembly and strengthen the Economic and Social Council," PM Modi said.
