The Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India and Russia are working together to boost global prosperity. “You all are taking India-Russia ties to new heights.
With your hard work and honesty, you have contributed to the Russian society. I have been a fan of the unique relationship between India and Russia,” he said, referring to Russia as India’s “all-weather ally” and “trustworthy friend”.
The Prime Minister said, “When India hosts the G20 Summit at the scale at which it did, the world takes notice. When India electrifies 40,000 km of rail lines, then the world notices India’s power to grow.
When India launches a solar mission and successfully and takes an L1 orbit, when India lands on the moon, when India builds the world’s highest rail bridge, when India builds the world’s tallest statue, the world sees a growing India.
The country, he said, is infused with confidence and is making things happen. “Over 140 crore Indians are making this resurgence of India possible — they dream big, they take a pledge and then make it happen,” he said.
The Prime Minister also referred to India’s victory in the Men’s T20 cricket World Cup that ended the 13-year ICC trophy drought for the Men in Blue.
