Modi says India handles 40% of the world’s real-time digital transactions
More than 200 G-20 related meetings will take place in different Indian cities, offering opportunities to establish meaningful connections with the delegates of many countries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the inauguration of 17th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention in Indore on 9 Jan 2023.
G-20 is not just a diplomatic event but it should be turned into a historic event of public participation where one can witness the sentiment of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, he said.
India took over the G-20 Presidency this year and the responsibility comes with a great opportunity to make the world aware of India’s past experiences to attain a sustainable future and learn from these experiences, he told delegates at the convention.
He noted that Indians have traversed all parts of the globe while living among different cultures and traditions and yet found ways to unlock the gates of prosperity through business partnerships.
The Prime Minister has also highlighted achievements in India.
Following the production of Tejas fighter planes, aircraft carriers INS Vikrant and nuclear submarine Arihant, it is only natural for the people of the world to be curious about India.
The Prime Minister also mentioned India’s cashless economy and fintech and said that 40% of the world’s real-time digital transactions are being done in India.
Speaking about space technology, he said that India is creating multiple records of launching hundreds of satellites at once. He also threw light on the software and digital technology industry of India and said that its capability is only increasing with time.
“The message of India has its distinct importance,” said the Prime Minister, remarking that the strength of the country is only going to get a boost in the future. He urged everyone present on the occasion to enrich their knowledge not just about India’s culture and tradition but also about the nation’s progress.
The PBD Convention is the Government’s flagship event and an important platform to engage and connect with overseas Indians and enable the diaspora to interact with each other. The theme of this PBD Convention is ‘Diaspora: Reliable partners for India’s progress in Amrit Kaal’. Over 3,500 diaspora members from nearly 70 different countries have registered for the PBD Convention. fiinews.com
