India's growth is good for the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells Moneycontrol
India’s growth is not only good for Indians but also for the world, Prime Minister Narendra has told Moneycontrol in an interview ahead of the G20 Summit in New  Delhi.

“When global leaders meet me, they are filled with a sense of optimism about India,” he said during the course of the interview published by Moneycontrol on Tuesday (September 5, 2023).
 
In addition to discussing different aspects of India’s G30 Presidency, Prime Minister Modi also shared his vision for India’s global role and the challenges of geopolitics, and the importance of credible global institutions during the interaction.
Responding to the X post of Moneycontrol about the interview, PM Modi said in a X post, “Shared my thoughts on various issues relating to India’s G20 Presidency, India’s vision for global well-being, our development strides and more in this interview with @moneycontrolcom.”
 
Here are top quotes from Prime Minister Modi’s interview to Moneycontrol:
 
1. If you see our motto for the G20, it is ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – One Earth One Family One Future’. This captures our outlook towards the G20 Presidency aptly. For us, the whole planet is like one family. In any family, each member’s future is deeply connected with that of every other member. So, when we work together, we progress together, leaving none behind.
 
2. When we laid out our agenda for the G20, it was welcomed universally, because everyone knew that we would bring our proactive and positive approach to help find solutions for global issues. 
 
3. When global leaders meet me, they are filled with a sense of optimism about India due to the efforts of 140 crore Indians across various sectors. They are also convinced that India has a lot to offer and must play a larger role in shaping the global future. 
 
4. By the end of our G20 Presidency, there will have been over 220 meetings in 60 cities across all 28 states and 8 union territories. More than 1 lakh participants from approximately 125 nationalities will have visited India. Over 1.5 crore individuals in our country have been involved in these programmes or have been exposed to various aspects of them. 
 
5. The new world order is multipolar. Every country agrees with another country on a few issues and disagrees on others. Having accepted this reality, a way forward is worked out based on their own national interests. India is also doing the same.
 
6. The world, whether it is developed or developing countries, needs to accept that climate change is not only a reality but a shared reality. The impact of climate change is not regional or local but is global.
 
7. Geopolitics and related factors can have a significant impact on decision-making in international trade. Instances of unilateralism and isolationism driven by such factors can contribute to supply chain disruptions and impact livelihoods, especially in critical sectors. This is why, today, investment in creating reliable global value chains is gaining importance.
 
8. India’s growth is not only good for Indians but also for the world. India’s growth is clean and green growth. India’s growth is being achieved with a human-centric approach that can be replicated in other countries too. India’s growth helps further the interests of the Global South. 
 
9. Our democratisation of the G20 Presidency is our investment in the capacity building of the people, especially youth, of various cities across the country. 
 
10. Soon, the G20 will be nearing 25 years of establishment. Such a milestone is a good opportunity to evaluate what objectives the G20 set out with and how far it has been able to achieve them. Such introspection is a necessity for every institution. It would have been wonderful if the UN had undertaken such an exercise when it turned 75 years old.
