PM’s statement before the start of special session of Parliament
Speaker: Narendra Modi
Date: 18 Sep, 2023

Namaskar, friends! With the success of the Moon Mission, Chandrayaan-3 has our Tricolour flag flying high. Shivshakti Point has become the center of new inspiration, and the Tiranga Point fills us with pride. When such achievements happen in the world, they are seen in conjunction with modernity, science, and technology. And when this capability is showcased to the world, it brings numerous possibilities and opportunities to India’s doorstep. The unprecedented success of the G20, welcoming leaders from across the world at more than 60 venues, brainstorming sessions, a living experience of the federal structure in true spirit, G20 itself became a celebration of our diversity and uniqueness. India will always take pride in being the voice of the Global South within the G20. Developments like permanent membership for the African Union and the unanimous G20 Declaration signal a bright future for India. Yesterday, Yashobhoomi, an international convention centre, was dedicated to the nation. It was also Vishwakarma Jayanti yesterday, celebrating the traditional skills of India’s Vishwakarma community. Training, modern tools and financial management with a fresh approach are enhancing India’s Vishwakarma capabilities, contributing to the country’s development journey. These events have created an atmosphere of celebration, enthusiasm, and confidence, instilling a new sense of self-belief in all of us across the nation. At the same time, this session of Parliament, in this new setting, is significant. It may be a short session, but it holds great importance in terms of historical decisions. It marks the beginning of a new phase in India’s 75-year journey. The position at which the journey took 75 years was a very inspiring moment. And now while taking that journey forward, we have to make this country a developed country in 2047 with new resolve, new energy, new faith and within the time limit. All the decisions in the near future will be made in this new Parliament building. Therefore, this session is crucial in many ways. I urge all honorable members to make the most of this short session, imbued with enthusiasm and positivity. There is enough time to make charges and counter charges. Some moments in life fill us with excitement and hope. I see this short session in that light. I hope that we will all enter the new Parliament with the best of intentions leaving behind the old negatives, and we will leave no stone unturned in enhancing the values in the new Parliament. This is a crucial moment for all honorable members to take this pledge. Tomorrow is the sacred festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. Lord Ganesha is considered the remover of obstacles, and now there will be no obstacles in India’s development journey. India will fulfil all dreams and resolutions in an obstacle-free manner. Therefore, on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, this new beginning will help realise all the dreams of India. That’s why this session may be short, but it is of great value. Thank you very much.

PM’s statement at the Event on Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment (PGII) and India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor
Speaker: Narendra Modi
Date: 09 Sep, 2023

Your Highnesses, Excellencies, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all of you for this special event. I am delighted to co-chair this event alongside my friend, President Biden. Today, we all have seen an important and historic agreement being concluded. In the coming time, it will become an effective medium of economic integration between India, West Asia and Europe. It will offer a sustainable direction for global connectivity and development. I congratulate, His Excellency President Biden, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, His Royal Highness, President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, His Excellency, President Macron, His Excellency, Chancellor Scholz, Her Excellency, Prime Minister Meloni, and Her Excellency, President von der Leyen, on this initiative. Friends, Robust connectivity and infrastructure serve as the foundational pillars for the advancement of human civilization. India has accorded utmost priority to these domains in its developmental voyage. In addition to physical infrastructure, there is an unprecedented scale of investment being directed towards social, digital, and financial infrastructure. Through these efforts, we are laying the strong foundation of a developed India. As a reliable partner in many countries of the Global South, we have implemented infrastructure projects in areas such as energy, railways, water, technology parks, and more. Throughout these endeavors, we have placed a particular emphasis on a demand-driven and transparent approach. Through PGII, we can make a significant contribution in reducing the infrastructure gap in the countries of the Global South. Friends, India does not measure connectivity with regional boundaries. Increasing connectivity with all regions has been India’s main priority. We believe that connectivity is a source of increasing not only mutual trade but also mutual trust between different countries. While promoting connectivity initiatives, it is important to ensure certain fundamental principles are followed, such as: Adherence to international norms, rules and laws. Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. Promoting financial viability instead of debt burden. And to follow all the environmental parameters. Today, when we are taking such a big initiative of connectivity, we are sowing the seeds of expanding the dreams of the coming generations. I convey my best wishes to all the leaders on this historic occasion and thank you all very much.
PM’s opening statement at the G20 Summit
Speaker: Narendra Modi
Date: 09 Sep, 2023

Your Highnesses, Excellencies, Namaskar! Before starting the formal proceedings, on behalf of all of us, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the people affected by the earthquake that occurred in Morocco a moment ago. We pray that all the injured people get well soon. The entire world community is with Morocco in this difficult time, and we are ready to provide them all possible assistance. Your Highnesses, Excellencies, As the President of the G-20, India extends a warm welcome to all of you. At the place where we are gathered today, just a few kilometers away from here, stands a pillar that is nearly two and a half thousand years old. Inscribed on this pillar in the Prakrit language are the words: ‘हेवम लोकसा हितमुखे ति, अथ इयम नातिसु हेवम’ Meaning, ‘The welfare and happiness of humanity should always be ensured.’ Two and a half thousand years ago, the land of India gave this message to the entire world. Let us begin this G-20 Summit by remembering this message. The 21st century is a time that has the potential to give a new direction to the entire world. It’s a time when years old challenges demand new solutions from us. Therefore, we must move forward by fulfilling all our responsibilities with a Human Centric approach. Friends, After Covid-19, a huge crisis of lack of trust has come in the world. Conflict has deepened this trust deficit. Just as we can overcome COVID, we can also overcome this crisis of mutual trust. Today, as the President of the G-20, India invites the entire world to come together and, first and foremost, transform this Global Trust Deficit into global trust and confidence. This is a time for all of us to walk together, and the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas’ can become a guiding light for all of us. Whether its a turbulent global economy, or the North-South divide, or the distance between East and West, Management of Food, Fuel, and Fertilizer, Or dealing with Terrorism and Cybersecurity, Or ensuring Health, Energy, and Water Security, We must move towards concrete solutions for these challenges, not just for the present but also for future generations, Friends, India’s G-20 presidency has become a symbol of inclusion, both within the country and beyond, representing the spirit of ‘Sabka Saath’. It has become a ‘People’s G-20’. Millions of Indians have engaged with it. Over 200 meetings have been held in more than 60 cities across the country. It was in the spirit of ‘Sabka Saath’ that India proposed permanent membership for the African Union in the G-20. I believe that we all agree on this proposal. With your consent, before we proceed with further proceedings, I invite the Chairperson of the African Union to take their place as a permanent member of the G-20.
PM’s remarks at the 18th East Asia Summit
Speaker: Narendra Modi
Date: 07 Sep, 2023

Your Excellency President Widodo, Your Majesty, Excellencies, Namaskar It is my pleasure to participate in the “East Asia Summit” once again. I extend my sincere congratulations to President Widodo for his outstanding leadership. Additionally, I warmly welcome His Excellency Xanana Gusmão, the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, as an Observer in this meeting. The East Asia Summit is a very important platform. It is the only leaders-led mechanism for dialogue and cooperation on strategic matters in the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role as the primary confidence-building mechanism in Asia. And the key to its success is ASEAN centrality. Your Majesty, Excellencies, India fully supports the “ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific.” There is unison in the vision of India and ASEAN for the Indo-Pacific. This underscores the significance of the ‘East Asia Summit’ as a crucial platform for implementing the “Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative.” ASEAN holds a central position in the vision of QUAD. The positive agenda of QUAD complements with the various mechanisms of ASEAN. Your Majesty, Excellencies, The present global landscape is surrounded by challenging circumstances and uncertainties. Terrorism, extremism, and geopolitical conflicts are big challenges for all of us. Multilateralism and rules-based international order are essential in countering them. It is imperative to adhere fully to international laws; And everyone’s commitment and joint efforts are also necessary to strengthen the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. As I have said before – today’s era is not of war. Dialogue and diplomacy is the only path to resolution. Your Majesty, Excellencies, India’s policy in Myanmar takes into account ASEAN’s views. At the same time, as a neighbouring country, ensuring peace and security on the borders; And enhancing India-ASEAN connectivity is also our focus. Peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region, is in the interest of us all. The need of the hour is such that an Indo-Pacific – where international law, including UNCLOS, is equally applicable to all countries; where there is freedom of navigation and overflight; and where there is unimpeded lawful commerce for the benefit of everyone. India believes that the Code of Conduct for South China Sea should be effective and in accordance with UNCLOS. Additionally, it should take into consideration the interests of countries that are not directly involved in the discussions. Your Majesty, Excellencies, Challenges pertaining to climate change, cyber security, food security, health, and energy are particularly impacting the Global South. During our G20 presidency, we are focusing on these important issues related to the Global South. Your Majesty, Excellencies, I would like to reaffirm India’s commitment to the East Asia Summit process. I extend my heartiest congratulations to the incoming Chair Lao P.D.R. And I assure India’s full support to their presidency. Thank You.

India fully supports ASEAN centrality and ASEAN’s outlook on the Indo-Pacific. ASEAN holds a prominent place in India’s Indo-Pacific initiative. Last year, we celebrated the India-ASEAN Friendship Year and elevated our relationship to a ‘Comprehensive Strategic Partnership’. Your Majesty, Excellencies, Today, even in an environment of global uncertainties, there is continuous progress in every field in our mutual cooperation. This is a testament to the strength and resilience of our relationship. The theme of this year’s ASEAN Summit is ‘ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth.’ ASEAN matters because here everyone’s voice is heard, and ASEAN is the epicenter of growth because the ASEAN region plays a crucial role in global development. ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – ‘one earth, one family, one future’, this sentiment is also the theme of India’s G-20 Presidency. Your Majesty, Excellencies, The 21st century is Asia’s century. It is our century. For this, it is necessary to build a rule-based post-COVID world order and efforts by all for human welfare. The progress of free and open Indo-Pacific and elevating the Voice of Global South is in the common interest of all. I believe that today’s discussions will lead to new resolutions for strengthening the future of India and the ASEAN region. Country Coordinator Singapore, upcoming Chair Lao PDR, and with all of you, India is committed to working shoulder to shoulder with you. Thank you.

Speaker: Narendra Modi
Date: 26 Aug, 2023

Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai, Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Kindly raise this slogan with me, Jai Jawan – Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan – Jai Kisan, Next, I will be saying something more. I will say Jai Vigyan (science), and you shall say Jai Anusandhan (research). Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan! Jai Jawan – Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan – Jai Kisan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan! With the beautiful sunrise and this splendid view in Bengaluru, when the scientists of the country offer such a great gift to the country, and make such a remarkable achievement, I witnessed the same scene also in Greece which I am witnessing in Bengaluru today. And it was the same in Johannesburg and in every corner of the world. Not only those who believe in Indian science, and can see the future, but everyone else dedicated to humanity are also full of such zeal and enthusiasm. You have come here early in the morning. I couldn’t stop myself because I was in a foreign land, far away from here. So, I thought that when I return to India, I would first visit Bengaluru to salute those scientists. Now when you are travelling such a long distance, sometimes there is a delay of a few minutes. I had requested the respected Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and Governor here to not be bothered about attending the event so early in the morning, because I would leave soon after saluting the scientists. So, I had requested them; when I would come to Karnataka formally, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister could follow the protocol. They cooperated and I express my gratitude to them and thank them. Friends, This is not the time for delivering my speech here, as I am very eager to meet those scientists. But I thank you because the people of Bengaluru are still living that moment with a lot of vigour and enthusiasm. I can even see small children here early in the morning. They are the future of India. Say along with me again; Bharat Mata Ki-Jai, Bharat Mata Ki-Jai, Bharat Mata Ki-Jai, Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan, Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan. Now, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan, Jai Vigyan – Jai Anusandhan! My heartiest thanks, friends.
