After facing the bitter cold of a London morning, and being shuttled from one point to another, we are finally in the wide warm confines of the Excel Centre – the hotspot of global action that will unfold as the day passes.
I am no economist who can debate on the perplexing ways the economy functions. As world leaders debate on trade, market reforms and business regulations, I hope today’s agenda will also take care of the voiceless nations. Salil Shetty, global head of the UN Millennium Campaign says emerging countries like India still have limited voice. He believes it is time that there are policy changes to make them more pro-MDG and also a change in the global governance and voice structures. Both need to go hand in glove. I am watching the Indian PM Manmohan Singh on the TV screens at the Media Centre. Will he take the cue?
