•With the changing times,if we don’t change,then the drive needed to bring change will also get weakened.

•India has always thought abt the interests of the whole humankind & not abt its own vested interests.This philosophy has always been the driving force of India's policies

•Any gesture of friendship by India towards one country is not directed against any 3rd country.

•India will not hesitate in raising its voice against the enemies of humanity,human race&human values–these incl terrorism, smuggling of illegal weapons, drugs & money-laundering.

•In the changed circumstances of the post-pandemic era, we are moving forward with the vision of a “Self-reliant India”. A Self-reliant India will also be a Force Multiplier for the Global Economy.

•India’s vaccine production and delivery capacity will be used to help all humanity in fighting this crisis.

•In its journey towards progress, India wants to learn from the world as well as share its own experiences with the world.
