‎India emerging as global ‘Centre of Gravity’, says PM Modi at NXT summit

New Delhi, March 12 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the world increasingly sees India as central to the future of global growth and stability, asserting that nations and experts across the globe are looking at the country with “great hope” despite ongoing international crises.
‎Addressing the gathering at the NXT Summit in Delhi, Modi said India is rapidly transforming and positioning itself as a key player in shaping the future. “One goal, one destination - Viksit Bharat,” he said, referring to his government’s vision of a developed India. “If you want to be part of the future, you have to be in India. India is not just progressing; India is moving to the next.”
‎The Prime Minister said several global leaders have remarked that India is becoming the “centre of gravity for the entire world,” a shift he attributed to the country’s steady economic growth and political stability at a time when the world is facing multiple crises. “The world is passing through a difficult phase, but India is moving ahead fast and steadily,” he said.
