India is moving ahead as ‘vishwa mitra’ in a rapidly changing world order, Prime Minister Narendra Modi intoned during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 in Gandhinagar.
The summit has been a forum for dialogue on economic development, business opportunities, and investment prospects with global business entities.
“India has recently completed 75 years of Independence. Now, we are working on the goal of making the country a developed one by the time it celebrates 100 years of independence. Therefore, this 25-year period is India’s Amrit Kaal (the era of elixir),” India’s PM said.
He used the occasion to remind the world of India’s standing as an economic superpower. “Today, India is the fifth largest economy in the world. Ten years ago, India was at the 11th position. Today, all major agencies estimate that India will be in the top three economies of the world in the coming years. Let people across the world do their analysis, but it is my guarantee that it will happen” PM Modi said.
India’s Prime Minister mentioned that the country remained faithful to its values of being people-centric and contributing to global good.
He added, “The world looks at India as an important pillar of stability. A friend who can be trusted, a partner who believes in people-centric development, a voice that believes in global good, a voice of the Global South, an engine of growth in the global economy, a technology hub for finding solutions, a powerhouse of talented youth and a democracy that delivers…”
He was upbeat about India being among the three largest economies in the world in the next few years. “We are all aware of the global circumstances. So, in times like these, if the Indian economy is displaying such resistance, if the growth in India is showing such momentum, a big reason behind this is our focus on structural reforms in the last 10 years. These reforms have enhanced the capacity, capability and competitiveness of India’s economy” PM Modi said.
