The world is watching how we respond to global challenges like the tariff war initiated by the USA. We are no longer a small or passive nation.”

We must grow stronger together. Today, India is one of the most developed nations with a robust economy and growing GDP. We are the world’s most preferred destination for foreign investment. The future belongs to India.”
