NEW YORK — Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh stated at the United Nations on Tuesday that India’s approach to migration governance is built on a people-centric framework prioritizing dignity and rights. Addressing the assembly, Singh noted that international mobility is a fundamental driver of the modern global economy.

Singh characterized India’s strategy as holistic and pragmatic, involving coordinated institutional efforts and broad societal participation. He asserted that managed migration is essential for sustaining economic dynamism across borders and requires a multi-stakeholder approach.

The remarks align with India's ongoing diplomatic efforts to formalize migration pathways and ensure the protection of overseas workers. The United Nations session is expected to continue discussions on global migration frameworks through the remainder of the week.
