Emphasising the role of G20 in upskilling the workforce, the PM said, "Globally, mobile workforce is going to be a reality in the future. Therefore, it is now time to globalise the development and sharing of skills in the true sense. The G20 must play a leading role in this. I commend your efforts to initiate the international referencing of occupations by skills and qualifications requirements..."






"...The amazing work done by frontline health & other workers in India during COVID showed their skills and dedication. It also reflected our culture of service & compassion. Indeed, India has the potential to become one of the largest providers of skilled workforce for the world," he added.
