Strong bonds

Ramesh G Jethwani

The path-breaking visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the US and his interaction with Silicon Valley’s tech giants is yet another milestone in India’s increased stature internationally. With firm determination to push economic reforms, given the global economic crisis and adverse economic conditions, India is showing great growth potential.

Mr Modi’s announcement that the Government’s aim is to ensure ‘ease of doing business’ as it aims to convert the country’s economy from eight trillion dollars to $20 trillion, was the most welcome statement.

This being Mr Modi’s second visit to the US, it will further strengthen the bond between the two countries, which will increase bilateral economic collaboration, bring investments and firm-up security ties.
