Addressing the Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Modi said that the new world order is inclined towards India as he referred to countries asking India for trade deals. PM Modi said that India has become strong voice of Global South.

“Today, India is entering into future-ready trade deals with several countries. In recent times, we have concluded major trade agreements with some of the world’s most important and advanced economies. A landmark deal has been finalised with the European Union, involving 27 countries. Those who are tired and disappointed today will, sooner or later, have to answer how they allowed the country to reach a stage where no nation in the world was willing to enter into a trade deal with India. You may have tried, you may have made repeated efforts, but no one even looked in your direction. Countries simply were not willing to strike deals with India at that time,” said PM Modi.

Prime Minister Modi said that today India has emerged as a ray of hope for the world by offering solutions to the challenges it is facing. “We are providing solutions to these global challenges. It is also a significant moment that among the major economies, India’s growth rate is very high. High growth combined with low inflation is a very rare and unique combination,” he said.
