New Delhi [India], December 2 : Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday highlighted India's progress and resilience, stating that the nation stands proud as a symbol of speed, scale, and determination while staying rooted in its culture and traditions.

Addressing the shared global challenges, Goyal called for a collective responsibility towards sustainability and environmental protection.
He noted that while the Global South and less-developed nations were not the primary contributors to environmental damage, they are essential participants in building sustainable solutions.
"This shared future and responsibility towards sustainability, better supply chains, and stable policies must be approached with a recognition of common but differentiated responsibilities. While we are all part of the solution, we must work together, and everyone must be assigned responsibility based on their contribution to the problem in the first place.," he added.
Goyal creatively summarized the essence of the Partnership Summit using the acronym "SPACE," symbolizing the launch of a new era of collaboration:
He noted that the 'S' - Synergy stands for One Earth, One Family, the 'P' - Partnership talks about Productive partners, peaceful coexistence, prosperity. The A- Alignment denotes Alignment of actions. The 'C' - Common Good is for the Common benefit of all and E for Engagement
