PM Narendra Modi and South Korea President Park Geun-hye meet in Seoul. Ahead of the meeting Modi was given a welcoming ceremony amid much fanfare.

Addressing a gathering of Indians in South Korea, Prime Minister Modi today said that in his one year in power, the world's perception of India had changed and people had become excited about returning to their country.


"Earlier citizens of India used to regret being born here. They all wanted to leave the country for better opportunities. Now they are ready to return even if they earn less in India than abroad," PM Modi said at a reception organized by the Indian community in Seoul.


Modi said he was offering one miracle antidote for India's problems. "That booti (medicinal herb) is development," he said, adding, "Development is not just about constructing big buildings or good roads. I want to improve the quality of life."
