We live in an inter-dependent world. An isolated India is not in our interest.

India is undergoing profound transformations. We are today the fastest growing economy in the world. We want the Indian economy to be driven by smart and sustainable cities, robust farm sector, vibrant manufacturing and dynamic service sector. And, its engines to run on world class network of rails, roads, airports and digital connectivity.

We are committed to supporting the economic growth of India and this includes providing a resource to local partners and taking 'Made in India' products global.

We get to do business all over the world, and it's rare to have such a big economy [India], growing so fast, and creating so much opportunity for so many. We want to be part of the process to strengthen the country, to serve its citizens and to demonstrate that we're a trusted partner across all these dimensions.

India is located at Asia's crossroads. And, we will assume our responsibility to build an inter-connected Asia. Asia of rivalries will hold us back. Asia of unity will shape the world.

The shipping sector is one of the major examples of the loss our nation had to bear. India was a global maritime power for a very long time. We were the biggest shipbuilding centre in the world... We used India-made ships just 50 years ago.
