New Delhi: In response to the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the importance of global cooperation in disaster resilience, citing India’s initiative in establishing the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI).
“Today, an earthquake struck Myanmar, causing the collapse of several large buildings. That is why India has taken the initiative to establish the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) at a global level. This is not just an organisation but a commitment to preparing the world for natural disasters,” PM Modi stated.
He emphasized that disaster resilience must be a priority for all nations, ensuring that infrastructure—including buildings, roads, and homes—can withstand such calamities. “India believes that infrastructure should remain safe in the face of disasters. To tackle future challenges, it is crucial for all nations to work together,” he added.
The CDRI, launched by India in 2019, aims to promote sustainable and disaster-resistant infrastructure, particularly in vulnerable regions. With climate change increasing the frequency of natural calamities, experts stress that global collaboration in resilient infrastructure planning is essential.
