Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a piece in the Wall Street Journal ahead of his US visit, saying that the US is India's 'natural global partner'. In the WSJ Op-Ed, Modi says, "The complementary strengths of India and the US can be used for inclusive and broad-based global development to transform lives across the world."
Talking about the strengths of the country and its youth, Modi says, "A young nation with 800 million people under age 35, India is brimming with optimism and confidence. The young people's energy, enthusiasm and enterprise are India's greatest strength. Unleashing those attributes is my government's biggest mission."
Modi also says that his government is committed to the 'Make in India' campaign. "We will create world-class infrastructure that India badly needs to accelerate growth and meet people's basic needs. We will make our cities and towns habitable, sustainable and smart; and we will make our villages the new engines of economic transformation. 'Make in India' is our commitment-and an invitation to all-to turn India into a new global manufacturing hub. We will do what it takes to make it a reality," Modi writes.
"India will pursue its dreams in partnership with our international friends. History tells us that India's natural instinct is to be open to the world. India will be open and friendly-for business, ideas, research, innovations and travel. In the coming months, you will feel the difference even before you begin your travel to India," Modi adds.
Talking about the India-US partnership, Modi says, "India and the US have a fundamental stake in each other's success-for the sake of our values and our many shared interests. That is also the imperative of our partnership. And it will be of great value in advancing peace, security and stability in the Asia and Pacific regions; in the unfinished and urgent task of combating terrorism and extremism; and in securing our seas, cyber space and outer space, all of which now have a profound influence on our daily lives."
