The Second World Summit for Social Development took place in Doha, Qatar, from November 4–6, 2025. The event culminated in the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration, which reaffirmed global commitments to eradicate poverty, ensure decent work, and promote inclusive growth. The summit served as a key international platform to review progress on social development goals outlined in the original Copenhagen Declaration of 1995. India, represented by Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, actively participated in discussions highlighting challenges faced by the Global South, especially those linked to development disparities and the transformative role of emerging technologies.
