Modi also mentions recent 'future-ready' trade deals, including significant negotiations with the European Union, and asserts India's role as a leading voice for the Global South on the international stage.

Be the same person no matter what happens: Rishabh Pant reveals Rahul Dravid's advice
Pant, who flourished under Dravid across formats, said one piece of advice from the Indian legend has stayed with him. “I think the key is not thinking about it too much and not dwelling on it. There’s one really good line I learnt from Rahul (Dravid) bhai. He always told me one thing: ‘Rishabh, no matter what happens, try to be the same person when you score a hundred and when you score a zero,’” Pant said. “I think, as an athlete, that’s the hardest thing to do — to remain who you are. Emotions sometimes get the better of you, but that line always stays with me. So personally, I try that. Whether I score zero or a hundred, I want to be the same guy. Maybe when I get out, it hurts more. I don’t enjoy scoring runs as much as I feel the pain of getting out,” the wicketkeeper-batter concluded.
