Intervening in the debate, Birla said that global instability caused by Covid-19 has created a food and energy security crisis across the world and it has “significantly increased concerns regarding food and energy security for developing countries and weaker sections of society”. Birla stressed that global “problems should be suitably addressed through collective efforts at the global level.” He added that “India has always supported a rules-based international order. It is in this spirit that India has called for supporting multilateralism for global peace and stability.”
