Moscow: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the Indian diaspora in Moscow amid chants of ‘Modi-Modi’, during his two-day visit to Russia.
Reminding that today marks one month of Modi 3.0, Prime Minister Modi said, “I have taken an oath to work three times faster and with three times more strength in my third term.”
Modi said, “This is my first conversation with the Indian diaspora after forming the govt for the third time…” The entire world is amazed looking at the speed of development India has acquired in the last 10 years. India is transforming today because it believes in the strength of its 140 crore citizens and its diaspora across the world. The government’s goal is to make India the third largest economy in the world in the third term…”
Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met on Monday night for a personal dinner hosted by Putin at his Dacha in the Moscow suburb of Novo-Ogaryovo. Putin embraced Modi, greeted him as his “dear friend” and said he was “very happy” to see him.
In formal talks on Tuesday, economic issues and the issue of the discharge of Indians “misled” into joining the Russian military on the Ukraine waterfront will be at the top of India’s wish list.
Modi arrived in Moscow on July 8 and was received at the Vnukovo-II VIP airport by Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, indicating the importance of his visit, the first time the leaders will hold the annual summit in three years, and Modi’s first bilateral visit abroad after re-assuming office in June.
After concluding his visit to Russia, PM Modi will depart for Austria in what is the first visit to the nation by an Indian Prime Minister in 40 years.
