Vienna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India has given \u2018Buddha\u2019 to the world, not \u2018Yuddha\u2019 (war) which means it has always given peace and prosperity, and therefore the country is going to strengthen its role in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
Addressing the Indian community in Vienna, PM Modi also said that India is working towards being the best, the brightest, achieving the biggest and reaching the highest milestones.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor thousands of years, we have been sharing our knowledge and expertise. We didn\u2019t give \u2018Yuddha\u2019 (war), we gave the world \u2018Buddha\u2019. India always gave peace and prosperity, and therefore India is going to strengthen its role in the 21st century,\u201d PM Modi said in Austria, a day after he arrived here from Moscow where he highlighted the importance of finding a peaceful solution to the Ukraine conflict during his talks with President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n
Describing his first visit to Austria as \u201cmeaningful\u201d, PM Modi said that after 41 years, an Indian Prime Minister has visited the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis long wait has come to an end on a historic occasion. India and Austria are celebrating 75 years of their friendship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndia and Austria are geographically on two different ends, but we have many similarities. Democracy connects both countries. Our shared values are liberty, equality, pluralism, and respect for the rule of law. Our societies are multicultural and multilingual. Both countries celebrate diversity, and a big medium to reflect these values are elections,\u201d he said, amid chants of \u2018Modi, Modi\u2019.<\/p>\n
Recalling the recently concluded general elections, PM Modi said 650 million people exercised their right to vote and despite such a big election, the results of the elections were declared within hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the power of our electoral machinery and democracy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
