Singapore: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said there’s today momentum in India which has to be experienced to be believed and the country is going to be a much bigger economy in the coming years.
Mr Jaishankar, who reached Singapore earlier today as part of his three-nation visit, said apart from an increase in ease of living and ease of doing business, India is ramping up its infrastructure through initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti.”It’s a nice way of saying that we will be more in your life than earlier, why would we be more in your life because we are going to have a much bigger economy.
There’s today a momentum in India which has to be experienced to be believed. Today, it’s a country that builds eight new airports in a year, 28 km of highways every day and for the last 10 years, it has built 2 colleges a day,” Mr Jaishankar said in his remarks at the Institute of South Asian Studies of the National University of Singapore. He was speaking on ‘Why Bharat Matters’.He also recalled India’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the country reaching out to other countries through vaccines.”We were very major producers of vaccines and as a minister, I was in the group of five ministers whom the PM Modi had tasked to deal with the COVID-19.
One part of it was watching this pandemic come towards you, trying to prepare a country in terms of public health capabilities and other responses which were required at that time…However, once we started responding, other aspects of globalisation were also visible and that also told us why foreign policy mattered,” Mr Jaishankar said.Reflecting on the global community’s shared experience, Jaishankar said the dominant collective experience in the recent past has been COVID-19.”Communities of the world, the challenges of the world, and particularly in the last five years, definitely in the last ten, I think we have, each of us, in our own lives, experienced this very graphically. The dominant collective experience, of course, for all of us, has been the COVID it. S Jaishankar”India’s Momentum Today Has To Be Experienced To Be Believed”:
