Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday while speaking at the plenary session of World Economic Forum (WEF) on Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland said that India has always believed in values of integration and unity, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' which means the entire world is one family. It is relevant to bridge distances. This year the topic here is 'Creating a shared future in a fractured world'. New powers are changing the balance between Economic and Political strength. This is indicating a change in future of the world. The world is facing challenges in maintaining peace, stability, and security.

The last time an Indian PM came to Davos was in 1997, when Deve Gowda had come. That time our GDP was little more than 400 billion dollars, now its more than 6 times. In 1997, a bird used to tweet but now humans are tweeting. Speaking on technology and the importance of data, PM Modi said, "In today's world, data is the biggest asset, it is because of the emergence of data that so many opportunities are being created and so there are as many challenges."  "Change in India's ranking is an indicator that the people in India have warmly welcomed the change in policies as the road to a better future for them," PM Modi added
