New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called on all democratic countries to work together on Cryptocurrency.
The PM statement came in a speech at Sydney dialogue because the government still considered the regulatory framework needed to manage and supervise investments made by millions of Indians in digital currencies.
PM said that the digital era turned everything around us and it had redefined politics, economy and society.
“Take the cryptocurrency or bitcoin for example.
It is important that all democratic countries work together and ensure it does not end in the wrong hands, which can damage our youth,” said PM Modi.
Last week, PM Modi led the meeting to discuss the future of Cryptocurrency amid fears that the non-regulated crypto market could be a way for money laundering and terror financing.
The government is likely to introduce the bill at the Cryptocurrency during the parliamentary winter session starting November 29.
Sydney dialog is being held from November 17-19.
This is an initiative of the Australian strategic policy institute.
The Prime Minister said that the world has delivered a new era of opportunities for progress and prosperity.
“But we also face new risks and new forms of conflict in various threats, from sea bed to cyber into space.
Technology has become a large instrument of global competition and the key to forming an international order in the future,” he said.
PM Modi emphasizes how the digital era reshapes international competition, power and leadership.
“This has delivered a new era of opportunities for progress and prosperity.
But, we also face new risks and new forms of conflict in various threats from sea bed to the cyber room,” said PM Modi.
