Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took another jibe at previous governments which practiced 'Look East' policy, saying India has had enough of it and it's time to 'Act East'.


"Earlier, it was 'Look East Policy'. We have had enough of looking east. We now have 'Act East Policy' -- a key component of my government's foreign policy," Modi told Indian diaspora during a community reception at the Kyung Hee University in the South Korean capital.


'Look East' policy was first coined by the Narasimha Rao government in the 1990s and has been followed by the successive governments. Modi also referred to economic experts saying that in the five-member BRICS grouping India was struggling but since last year (after his government came to power) things have changed.


"Since the last one year, the world is now saying that I (India) is an important segment of BRICS and the grouping can not be imagined without I (India)," said Modi, who arrived here from Mongolia today on the last leg of his three-nation tour which also took him to China.
