In this address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlines India's trajectory towards becoming a developed nation, emphasizing that the country has reached a decisive stage in its journey. He highlights that 'The world is moving very fast towards a new world order,' with India positioned as a reliable 'Vishwa Mitra' or global friend. The Prime Minister notes that while many developed nations are aging, India’s strength lies in its youthful population and significant talent pool. He contrasts the current economic stability—characterized by high growth and low inflation—with the previous 'Fragile Five' status, noting India's progress toward becoming the world's third-largest economy. 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.
