'Few partnerships so rich in promise as ours', says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said there were few partnerships which were so rich in promise and so capable of shaping the world as the one between India and the United States.

"Our inter-dependent world needs strong international partnerships more than ever before. And, few partnerships are so rich in promise and so capable of shaping our world as ours," Prime Minister Modi said at the India-U.S. Business Summit here.

"We only have to see the history of our cooperation. We have worked together to usher in the Green Revolution in India. We have collaborated in Space. We have partnered in setting up IITs and IIMs. And, we have helped shape the digital age," he added.

Stressing that prosperity is no guarantee for peace, the Prime Minister said India sees the world as one family and wishes to shape it in the values that define our nation.

"We have seen that prosperity is no guarantee for peace. I repeat prosperity is no guarantee for peace. But, India sees the world as one family; and we wish to shape it in the values that define our nation," he added.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that India would be an important anchor of stability for the global economy; and an engine for its growth.

"Above all, a prosperous India will be a force of peace and stability in the world," he added.
