National News (14/03/2026): The Om Birla, Speaker of the Lok Sabha, on Friday said that the NXT Conclave 2026 is rapidly evolving into an influential international forum for policy dialogue, innovation, and cooperation among nations. He made these remarks while interacting with a delegation of parliamentarians from more than 30 countries who are currently attending the conclave in the national capital.

The visiting lawmakers met the Speaker at the Parliament House in New Delhi, where discussions focused on strengthening democratic engagement and fostering collaboration among legislative bodies worldwide.

Addressing the delegation, Birla welcomed the parliamentarians and dignitaries from different democracies and highlighted the significance of global parliamentary interaction in addressing shared challenges. He emphasized that such platforms help legislators exchange ideas, learn from each other’s experiences, and promote democratic values across nations.

The Speaker also appreciated the efforts of Kartikeya Sharma, Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, for initiating and leading the NXT Conclave. According to Birla, the forum is gaining prominence as a space where policymakers, parliamentarians, and global thought leaders can collectively deliberate on emerging issues affecting governance, technology, and international cooperation.

Highlighting India’s democratic traditions, Birla said that India, the world’s largest democracy, is widely recognized as the “Mother of Democracy” because of its long-standing culture of dialogue, consensus-building, and participatory governance. He noted that the Indian Parliament reflects the hopes, aspirations, and diversity of nearly 1.4 billion citizens, and policies are formulated through extensive debate and discussion representing varied viewpoints.

Birla further spoke about the country’s progress in areas such as inclusive growth, digital transformation, and transparent governance over the past decade. He pointed out that initiatives like technology-enabled governance, direct benefit transfer systems, and the expansion of digital platforms have significantly enhanced transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public administration.

The Speaker also referred to efforts being made to modernize parliamentary functioning through the use of emerging technologies. He highlighted initiatives such as Digital Sansad, advanced parliamentary research tools, and modern information systems aimed at making legislative processes more transparent and efficient.

Underscoring the growing importance of parliamentary diplomacy, Birla said that the Indian Parliament has recently formed more than 60 Parliamentary Friendship Groups to promote closer engagement and collaboration with legislatures across the world.

Encouraging deeper international cooperation among lawmakers, he stressed the importance of sharing knowledge, ideas, and best practices to strengthen democratic institutions globally. Birla expressed confidence that the discussions and exchanges taking place during the conclave would contribute to stronger democratic partnerships and enhanced global cooperation.

The NXT Conclave 2026, currently being held in New Delhi, has brought together parliamentarians, policymakers, industry leaders, and global experts to deliberate on critical issues related to governance, technological innovation, and international collaboration in an increasingly interconnected world.
