New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a first in over four decades, is on a visit to Poland, where he addressed expat Indians today. About his being the first Indian Prime Minister in Poland, he had a joke to crack. “It is my good fortune to bring about many firsts,” he said, citing his visit to Austria as well.
“For decades, India’s policy was to maintain distance from all countries,” he said.
“Today, India’s policy is to maintain close ties with all countries. Today’s India wants to connect with everyone. Today’s India is with everyone and thinks about everyone’s benefit. Today the world respects India as Vishwa Bandhu,” he added.
