Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the world’s economic revival from the
current crisis will be linked to the growth of India and the country is ready to
do whatever it can to further global good and prosperity. “This is a India that is
reforming, performing and transforming,” he said addressing the inaugural
address at the India Global Week 2020.
The PM said that “AtmaNirbhar Bharat is not about being self-contained or
being closed to the world” and “India remains one of the most open
economies in the world”. “Very few countries will offer the kind of
opportunities India does today,”
Highlighting that India has played a leading role in reducing the cost of
medicines, especially for developing countries, Modi said that the country will
have an important role in scaling up production of the Covid-19 vaccine once it
is discovered.
