Prime Minister Narendra Modi Talks About India’s Growth and Future at ET World Leaders Forum

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that a strong and prosperous India can benefit the entire world. Speaking at the ET World Leaders Forum, he highlighted India’s significant economic growth over the past decade and stressed the importance of innovation, inclusion, and international cooperation.

Modi said, “India should become a leader in every sector of the world. We promise that we will facilitate, you promise that you will innovate. We promise that we will reform, you promise that you will perform. We promise that we will focus on high growth, you promise that you will focus on high quality… Today’s India respects wealth creators. A strong India can bring great growth to the entire humanity. A prosperous India can pave the way for prosperity of the entire world. We have to remember the mantras of innovation, inclusion and international cooperation.”

He also noted that while the global economy has grown by 35% in the last 10 years, India’s economy has grown by almost 90% in the same period. Modi assured that this sustainable growth will continue in the future. He said, “Reform, perform and transform has been our mantra. People are seeing the achievements of the country and are full of confidence.”

Modi pointed out that while many large countries have voted for change, India has chosen continuity, political stability, and economic growth. He said, “Look at the situations in other countries of the world. This year, voting has taken place in many big countries of the world, elections have been held and, in most places, people have voted for change. Governments have faced difficulties in many countries. But the citizens of India have given this trend a completely opposite mandate. The voters of India have ensured a hat-trick for a government after 60 years. The aspirational youth of India and the women of India have voted for continuity, political stability and economic growth.”
