And we have also made a law on the requirements. The discussion has also been taken in this meeting. In the development, we have decided to take the back alleys of Akanshi district. We have decided to take the back alleys of the development. And with this, a similar development has been developed in the entire country. The most important thing is the distance between the JALWAIU family and the SDGs. India is making a lot of progress in the transition of the green development and the green transition. For this purpose, we have received a lot of support on the big scale. We have increased the women's late development from the women's empowerment.

And now I take this opportunity to humbly request his Excellency, Mr. Duarte Pacheco, to kindly present his address. Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Deputy Chairman, Madam Speaker, the speakers of different parliaments of the P20 summit, colleagues, parliamentarians, diplomats, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, allow me to thank the parliament of India. And in particular, the speaker, Om Billa, for giving the opportunity to return to New Delhi and to accept the hospitality, the warm hospitality that we always received when we came to India. And also for the organization of these events, the compromise of India to welcome a successful summit of parliamentarians is always present. And we feel it during these two days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for all your compromise to achieve the success of this meeting. And allow me also to congratulate His Excellency, the Prime Minister Modi, for the leadership and a successful leadership for the G20 during this year. It's not a surprise. We know the compromise of the Prime Minister Modi with multilateralism or the compromise with dialogue. The compromise to achieve agreements for the future. And the slogan, one earth, one family, one future is an example of it. It's not possible to ask more. And so congratulations, Prime Minister, for the success you achieved. Dear colleagues, we came here to the summit of parliamentarians of the G20. First of all, we know, we knew before we came, it will be a success. Why? Very easy to understand that. India is the largest democracy of the world, a true democracy. And there is no democracy without parliamentarians, without a parliament. We can find other kind of regimes. But if we talk about the democracy, we need to talk about parliament. And so the relevance given to the parliamentarians and to the parliament itself is very high here in India. And so it's easy to understand, before we came, that the compromise to join parliamentarians and speakers from the G20, together with other countries also invited, we will work through our very heart to achieve the success of the summit. Democracy and parliamentarians and parliament are both sides from the same coin. And so here we are in India, New Delhi, in this summit of parliamentarians, a summit of democracy. Thank you for all the hospitality, dear colleagues. And also we need to say that it is very important to remember when this kind of summit was born in Argentina a few years ago and the success of what we achieve now. Before that, the heads of state, heads of government joined together to discuss important issues to the world. But we parliamentarians represented the people of the world. And so we should also work together to achieve the success we wish to our people. Not let just the governments to do what they need to do, what they should to do, but participate. Not in the competition, but as a complementary work to achieve the success we wish to the people we represent. And from a formal meeting, we came to a formal one. And now we have this kind of summit every year with a formal format joining speakers of parliament from around the world to discuss important issues to the whole humankind. And we are here to address especially the question of climate change, environment and the future. Allow me to say, before that, it's impossible to discuss sustainable development goals and talk about future without peace. And so year from year we should give a strong screen, represented the people of our countries. We need to defend peace everywhere, in all continents, in Europe, in Africa, in the Middle East, in Asia, in America. Without peace, forget to discuss sustainable development goals or to discuss other issues. So peace should be on the front page of our worries, always. One single death is too much. It's too much. And we need to defend peace all over, to hope. And we, parliamentarians, know how to do it, because we do it inside our own, inside our parliament. We discuss very hard with people that have different ideas, but we try to reach consensus. And what we should do is to transform it to an international level. With parliamentarians from different countries, with different perspectives, no one is better than the other, are different. But we can work together and to solve our divergences and to go ahead. We don't need to think every day the same about everything. What we need to understand, at least, our goal is to keep peace and development. And for that we should work together. And just after it, with peace, it's possible to discuss sustainable development goals and environment and other important issues to our people. And here, we need to say that we need a collective action because sustainable development goals, regarding the middle of the track, but just 12% of the targets are achieved until now. 2015, 2023, and just 12%. And we just have more seven years to achieve the deadline 20-30. So you can imagine how we should work together, very hard. We should run, try to achieve it because it is essential to the human kind. Again, the country alone will not solve the problem of climate change. We do not achieve the sustainable development we wish of our world, just together until it is possible to achieve it. And IPU is a good platform because it's the only global organization of parliament. We have different regional ones in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, but global is just IPU. And that's why we should increase our efforts to achieve what we wish. Sustainable development goals on time so much as possible. 100% will not be possible, I believe. We need to be real, but 12% Mamma Mia. We need to work harder to achieve 70, 80, 90% at least. And we will do it in accordance with United Nations Charter, of course, and with the efforts of our governments and our parliamentarians, because we parliamentarians have power in our hands, and we should use it to achieve what we wish. Not just talk about the problems, but with concrete actions, because people are asking for actions. People are tired of speech, of important meetings. People wish concrete actions to solve the problems that we should do it. And finally, because we are here in India, allow me also to show the appreciation to the increasing of participation of women in this largest democracy in your parliament, Mr. Spica. It's impossible to think in inclusive democracy if we forget 50% of the population representation. It's impossible. It's a democracy, but it is not inclusive. So we need to increase the participation of women, because we are different men and women, we are different, but we are complementary. Different sensibilities to solve the issues. Maybe if you have more women in the leadership of our countries, we will not have so many wars, because I don't believe that a woman will be available to send a sense to a war. Just one example why we need to have more women participation in politics and inside our parliament. But also young people allow me to say, because in many countries we have representation of young people in parliament that do not correspond to the society. In many countries we have 40% of the population, 50% of the population below 30%. But when we see the parliament composition, just 2% of them are there. And so if young people are not involved, they will not feel represented. They in mind will be available to accept extremist ideas that we don't like, that we fight against them. So it's better to have them involved in participating in the system because their participation is also guaranteed that they will be inside the system with the energy, with the capacity of innovation. We wish to transform the society and it's very good to have them working with us. And here we have a lot of young people participating already. And also a good example from India that could be shared around the world. Dear Madam Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Prime Minister, it's always a pleasure to come to India to learn with you, to learn with your wisdom, with your simplicity, with your capacity to transform the world. We hope that our work here during these two days will be very fruitful and we will come home to apply the things we discussed here. Thank you so much. Thank you, His Excellency, Mr. Duarte Pacheco, President-IPU. Respected ladies and gentlemen, I now make a humble request to the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shrinarendra Modi, to address this August's gathering. In the G20 Parliamentary Speaker Summit, I welcome you all to India with more than 140 crore Indians. This summit is like a world full of different parliamentary practices. All of you are delegates of different parliaments. We are very happy to come to India with so many international experiences. Friends, this is the festive season in India. There are a lot of festive activities going on in India these days. But this time, the G20 has made the festive season a year-long event. We have hosted the G20 delegates of different cities of India and the festival was being held in those cities. After this, India landed on the moon. It increased the celebration in the entire country. We have hosted a successful G20 summit in Delhi. And now this P20 summit is taking place here. The people of any country have the greatest power. They have the will of their people. This summit is the medium to celebrate the people's strength. Friends, the P20 summit is taking place on that Indian land which is the mother of democracy which is the world's biggest democracy. As a representative of different parliaments of the world, you know that parliaments are an important place for debate and deliberations. Even thousands of years ago, the debate and deliberations are very important. For the past 5000 years, in the old books and in our Vedas, we have talked about the meetings and meetings. We used to come together to discuss social issues. In our old Vedas, we have talked about the meetings, meetings and meetings. That is, we go together, we talk together, and our minds are united. Even then, through the debate, there were decisions related to the villages. Greek milk, even the Magistranians, when they saw such a situation in India, they were surprised. They wrote a book on the system of different states of India. They were surprised to find out that in Tamil Nadu, there is a 9th century shield. In this, the rules and codes of the villages and legislatures are different. For you, it is also very interesting to know that in the 12th century, it has been written that in what circumstances can a dissqualification be done? I am not talking about 1200 years ago. I would like to tell you about the experience of Mantrapa. Even before Magna Karta, the 12th century, we had the experience of Mantrapa. In this, the debate and discussion were encouraged. In the experience of Mantrapa, every work, every caste, every community, people used to come there for their talk. Even today, this day of Jagadguru Pasweshwara, encourages India. From 5000 years old, this journey of today, this development of the 12th century, is not only ours, but also the whole world. Friends, along with time, this 12th century has improved. These practices have been strengthened. In India, general elections are considered to be the greatest. Since 1947, after the independence of India, in India, 17 general elections and more than 300 state assemblies have been elected. India, is not the biggest election in the world. In fact, the participation of the people is also increasing. In the general election of 2019, the people of the country have won the party for the second time. In the general election of 2019, the biggest democratic exercise of human history was 60 crores, that is, more than 600 million voters have participated. Can you imagine? In India, 91 crores, that is, 910 million registered voters are more than the whole population of Europe. In the whole registered voters of the country, the turnout of around 70% shows that in India, on parliamentary practices, people have so much trust. And in this, an important factor has been the participation of the women. In the election of 2019, the women of India voted in the record elections. And not only the women, but in the case of political representation, you will not get an example like the election of India. In the general election of 2019, more than 600 political parties participated. In the election, 1 crore, that is, more than 10 million government employees had worked on the election. In the election, more than 1 million, that is, more than 10 lakh, polling stations were built. In the election, India has also connected the election process with traditional technology. India has been using an electronic voting machine, an EVM, using EVM, in elections, in transparency, in election practice, in efficiency. Both are big. In India, to start counting votes, in a few hours, elections will be held. Now I am giving you another example. You will be shocked to hear this. You will know that in the next year, again in India, there will be a general election. In this election, 100 crore voters, that is, 1 billion people are going to vote. In the P20 summit, I will give you all the delegates for the next year to see the general election. Once again, I am happy to announce that a few days ago, the parliament of India took a big decision in which I would like to introduce you. The parliament of India and the state legislative assemblies are giving 33% reservation to women. In India, in local self-governance institutions, around 32 lakhs, meaning more than 3 million are elected representatives. Among them, around 50% are women representatives. In India, in every sector, women participation is increasing. The decision was taken by our society and our society will strengthen it. Friends, the society of India has a big reason to understand and understand you. This is our power, our our our vibrancy, our our every leader in the In India, there are more than 900 TV channels in India, and there are 24 by 7. In 200 languages, there are more than 33,000 newspapers published. There are almost 3 billion users of social media on different platforms. It is known that the level of information flow and freedom of speech in India is so high. In the 21st century, this vibrancy is our greatest strength. This vibrancy gives us the courage to fight every challenge and to solve every problem. Friends, there is no difference between what is happening in the world and what is happening. With conflicts and confrontations, the world is struggling with these problems. The world is not in any crisis. The big challenges faced by humans cannot solve any problem. This is the time for peace and brotherhood. This is the time to walk together. This is the time to move forward. This is the time for all of us to grow up. We will have to overcome the problems of spiritual faith. And we will have to move forward. We will have to see the world from the perspective of one earth, one family, one future. Taking decisions from the world will have a huge impact on the destiny of the world. With this in mind, India has decided to make the African Union a permanent member of the G20. I am happy that all the countries have accepted it. Even on this forum, I am very happy to see the participation of the pan-Africa parliament. Friends, I have been told that our speaker, Om Bidla, is going to take you to the new nation of India in the evening. There, you are going to give the Pujya Mahatma Gandhi a grand prize. As you know, India is facing a cross-border terrorism from tens of millions of Indians. The terrorists have killed thousands of innocent people in India. You will also be able to see the old Indian nation of India. About 20 years ago, terrorists had also targeted our nation. And you will know that at that time, the enemy of the nation was coming. The terrorists were ready to change the society, to kill them. India has reached here today, with so many terrorist attacks. Now, the world is also realizing that terrorism is a big challenge for the world. Even if terrorism happens anywhere, it happens for any reason, it happens in any form. But it is the resistance of humanity. In such a way, we will have to put all of us in a difficult position with regards to terrorism. However, there is another side to this, which I want to focus on. It is very sad that even today, in the United Nations, the International Convention on Combating Terrorism Consensus is waiting. The world is taking advantage of the same behavior of humanity. The world is taking advantage of its representatives. We will have to think about how we can work together in this fight against terrorism. Friends, it cannot be better than the world's elections. I have always believed that governments are made up of terrorism. But the country is running with courage. Our parliaments and these P-20 forums can also support this feeling. With debate and deliberation, our efforts to make this world better will definitely be successful. I also believe that your progress in India will be happy. Once again, I would like to thank all of you for your success in this world and for your happy journey in India. Thank you very much. Thank you to our team guests on the days. We also express our gratitude to all the distinguished guests who have joined us for this inauguration function. Thank you all. Thank you very much. With this, we end this inauguration session.
