New Delhi, July 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that India's economy is playing a major role in driving global growth, fuelled by the mantra of "Reform, Perform and Transform."
Addressing the Indian community in Jakarta, PM Modi highlighted that this mantra had helped accelerate the country's development and strengthen its position on the global stage.
The Prime Minister thanked the Indian community in Indonesia for helping to strengthen ties between the two countries.
He pointed out that the Indian diaspora was playing a crucial role as ambassadors of Indian culture, values and traditions across the world.
PM Modi recalled Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's visit to India as the Chief Guest for the Republic Day celebrations and referred to the latter’s remark that had touched the hearts of millions of Indians.
"You had said that you have India's DNA. That one statement won the hearts of millions of Indians, and even today, it received the loudest applause. I want to say that DNA is built on mutual trust and shared history," the Prime Minister remarked.
The Prime Minister said the relationship between India and Indonesia goes far beyond diplomacy as it is based on centuries-old cultural and historical ties between the two countries.
"The relations between India and Indonesia are civilisational," PM Modi said, stressing that the friendship between the two nations continues to grow stronger.
The PM also said that Indonesia's highest civilian honour that was conferred on him earlier in the day, belongs to 1.4 billion Indians and to all members of the Indian community.
“Above all, this award is another symbol of the close friendship between India and Indonesia," he said.
The Prime Minister also said he was deeply moved by the welcome he received upon arriving in Indonesia. He also noted that President Prabowo personally received him at the airport along with members of the Cabinet, adding that the enthusiasm shown by the people, children and youth reflected the strong goodwill towards India.
"From the moment my aircraft entered Indonesian airspace and I set foot here, I have been overwhelmed by the affection and warmth shown by the people of Indonesia," PM Modi added.
