India, on Monday, signed the Headquarter Agreement with the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), thereby according the status of an 'independent and international legal entity' to CDRI.
The pact will enable it to pursue functions internationally with all rights, immunities, and privileges, as per the United Nations (Privileges & Immunities) Act, 1947.
"It is a landmark moment for CDRI to be recognized as an independent international organisation, with a Charter endorsed by 31 countries and 8 international organisations in less than two years," PK Mishra, principal secretary to the PM and CDRI governing council co-chair said. Mishra said this would further enable it to fulfil its commitments and engagements on the resilience of infrastructure as envisioned by PM Modi.
