Germany: PM Modi says opportunities in India are “seamless” and huge for a vibrant economic partnership.
HANNOVER: Promising a stable business environment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday wooed German investors saying opportunities in India are “seamless” and huge for a vibrant economic partnership.
Inaugurating the Hannover Messe, the world’s biggest business fair, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the PM said India was working on a “predictable and transparent” environment to open up investments.
“We are creating an environment that is stable, where rules will not be changed frequently and there will be no surprise elements,” he said.
Strongly pitching for his “Make in India” campaign, he said it was not a “slogan or a brand, but a new national movement”.
Earlier, Modi took the message to the captains of German industry, telling a slew of top CEOs — including those of Daimler, Voith, Metro AG and Bombardier Transportation — that India was a land of great opportunities.
The PM, accompanied by commerce and industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman, attended a round table with German CEOs and invited them to invest in India. Modi then individually met CEOs Lutz Bertling of Bombardier Transportation, Hubert Lienhard of Voith, Olaf Koch, Metro AG, and Dieter Zetsche of Daimler.
At the Hannover City Hall, he was accorded a welcome by the mayor Steven Schostok. Speaking after unveiling the bust of Mahatma Gandhi at the city hall, Modi said the unveiling of the statue was a moment of pride not only for the residents of the city but also for every individual who had faith in humanity. Modi said the world was facing challenges of terrorism and global warming and Mahatma Gandhi’s life provided answers to these issues.
Describing Mahatma Gandhi as a “yug purush (a great man)”, he said the Father of the Indian Nation belonged to the whole world.And today, when the world is getting bloodied with terrorism to finish humanity, the message of non-violence and vasudhaiva kutumbakam is a valid message for all.”
