You cannot run 21st-century software on 20th-century typewriters, says PM seeking reforms in multilateral institutions

New Delhi: You cannot run 21st-century software on 20th-century typewriters, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, strongly arguing for reforms in the multilateral institutions.

“The expansion of BRICS and the inclusion of new partners reflect its ability to evolve with the times. Now, we must demonstrate the same determination to reform institutions like the UN Security Council, the World Trade Organisation, and the multilateral development banks,” the prime minister said, addressing a BRICS session on the reform of global governance.
