Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called upon African nations to join India in demanding reforms in the UN Security Council and global financial institutions to make it more democratic, inclusive and representative. Mr Modi said, India and Africa, constituting one-third of the global population, must continue to speak in one voice for these reforms. <br/><br/>He said, the present day world is facing challenges like terrorism and climate change, which did not exist when the UN was founded 70 years back and the global body runs the risk of losing relevance if it does not adapt to the new systems in the world. Mr Modi was talking to journalists in New Delhi Friday ahead of the India-Africa Forum Summit. Noting that UN now has four times the member-countries than it had at its inception, the Prime Minister said, the world is undergoing political, economic and technological transition on a scale rarely seen in recent history.<br/><br/>Talking about cooperation with Africa, the Prime Minister said, it is a relationship with a strong emotional link forged by the intersecting history and centuries-old ties of kinship. Viewing the upcoming third India-Africa Forum Summit as crucial, he expressed confidence that it will bring freshness to the relation and take it to new heights.<br/><br/>The Prime Minister also had an informal interaction with Trade Ministers from the African countries. They were in New Delhi for the 4th India-Africa Trade Ministers' meeting, which was held Friday.
