Indian prime minister Modi's speech at the Council of Foreign Relations, September 29, 2014, urging foreign investors to come to India

09/30/2014

In marketing India as a destination for foreign investment India's prime minster Modi emphasized that India was the only country with all three favorable factors - democracy, demographic dividend and demand. India has a population with 55% of the people under age 35. A population of over 1.2 billion mostly younger consumers creating a big pool of demand for many companies. Democracy with coalition governments has been an obstacle for three decades to creating the right framework for legislation on opening the country to foreign investment. Modi's BJP party has an absolute majority in parliament making it possible to take speedy action, with an effort underway to improve its tally of state legislatures it controls. Modi also has a track record of three terms as chief minister in rapidly industrializing Gujarat state. This gives credibility to Modi's plans. He stated that energy was a high priority with a goal of bringing electricity to every village in India in 5 years. A trillion dollars of investment are required in rail which he plans to open up for 100% FDI investment. Manufacturing is a big focus of Modi's plans with the launch of the "Make India" campaign. My country needs millions of jobs Modi told the audience, urging foreign companies to take up his offer. He said the laws and red tape built up from previous Socialist governments would be removed for swift approval of proposals.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
