Prime Minster Nareadra Modi addressed global leaders at the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, highlighting Gujarat and India as prime investment destinations. He emphasized India's resilience in the face of global challenges, attributing it to his government's decade-long focus on structural reforms.
Here are the key points from PM Modi's speech at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit:
Modi spoke about India's vision for the next 25 years, aiming to become a developed nation by its 100th year of independence. He referred to this period as India's "Amrit Kaal" or an era of opportunity.
The summit's significance was amplified by representatives from over 100 countries, integral to India's development journey. Notably, UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed's presence as the chief guest signaled the strengthening ties between India and the UAE, with significant agreements signed for substantial investments in India's port infrastructure by UAE companies.
Modi welcomed Timor Leste President José Ramos-Horta to India, acknowledging the pivotal role Timor Leste holds in India-Asean cooperation. He highlighted India's priorities in sustainable industry, infrastructure, manufacturing, AI, and innovation, alongside its focus on sustainable and solar energy through the Digital India mission.
The PM highlighted progress in poverty alleviation, with over 135 million people rising above the poverty line in the last decade under his government. He urged everyone to join India's development journey.
India's economic growth was underlined, with the country now the world's fifth-largest economy, set to potentially enter the top three in the near future. Modi assured the audience that despite global speculations, this growth trajectory was certain.
Expressing gratitude to attendees at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, PM Modi assured them of his commitment to realizing their aspirations. Later in the day, he was scheduled to engage with prominent business leaders at the Global FinTech Leadership Forum in GIFT City.
