Come and invest in India, PM tells global meet

Prime Minister ⁦Narendra Modi delivers the inaugural address at India Global Week 2020. Highlights:

"In these times, it is natural to talk about revival. It is equally natural to link global revival and India. There is faith that the story of global revival will have India playing a leading role. World over, you have seen the contribution of India's talent-force. Who can forget the Indian tech industry and tech professionals. They have been showing the way for decades. India is a power-house of talent that is eager to contribute.

"Indians are natural reformers. History shows that India has overcome every challenge be it social or economic. On one hand India is fighting a strong battle against the global pandemic.With an increased focus on people's health, we are equally focussed on health of economy.

"When India talks of revival it's revival with care, with compassion, which is sustainable both for environment and economy. Indians have the spirit to achieve what is believed to be impossible. No wonder that in India, we are already seeing green-shoots of economic recovery.

"The pandemic has once again shown that India's pharma industry is an asset not just for India but for the entire world. It has played a leading role in reducing the cost of medicines, especially for developing countries.

"India remains one of the most open economies in the world. We are laying a red carpet for all global companies to come and establish their presence in India. Very few countries will offer the kind of opportunities India does today."
