BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Supply chain issues, rising food and energy prices, armed conflict, climate change, and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic have driven the world into a state of difficult instability that could last for an unforeseeable time period, according to a statement made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Inaugural Leaders' Session of Voice of Global South Summit 2023 on Thursday. 

"It is clear the world is in a state of crisis. It is difficult to predict how long this state of instability will last," Modi said before adding that the global community had "turned the page on another difficult year."
 
The PM explained that some of the difficulties of 2023 included conflicts, terrorism, geo-political tensions, rising food prices, fertilizer, and energy prices, climate-change-driven natural disasters, and the "lasting" impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the global economy. 
 
"Despite the challenges the developing world faces, I remain optimistic that our time is coming," Modi noted.

"The need of the hour is to identify simple, scalable, and sustainable solutions that can transform our societies and economies," the PM continued and explained that "with such an approach, we shall overcome the difficult challenges - whether it is poverty, universal healthcare or building human capacities."

Moreover, Modi noted that “India has always shared its developmental experience with our brothers of the Global South," adding that "as India begins its G20 Presidency this year, it is natural that our aim is to amplify the Voice of the Global South.” 

The virtual summit, which started off on January 12 with the inaugural leaders' session, titled "Voice of Global South - for Human-Centric Development" is a two-day virtual summit composed of 10 sessions and will be concluded with a session titled "Unity of Voice-Unity of Purpose."
