"The post-Covid world is suffering from trust deficit, and the (Ukraine) war has deepened it further, he said, adding that we need to walk together for global good," Modi said.
"We live in times when age-old problems are seeking answers, and we need to fulfil our responsibilities with a human-centric approach. The idea of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas, sabka prayas' can be a guide to the world," he added.
Modi said that "India's G20 presidency has become a symbol of inclusion, both inside and outside the country".
