WEF Davos 2018
In a historic address at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday laid emphasis on “serious” challenges and “grave concerns” facing the world, including terrorism. “Terrorism is dangerous. Worse is when people say there is a difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ terror. It is painful to see some youngsters getting radicalised,” said PM Modi, who arrived in Davos on Monday evening.
The Prime Minister pointed out that the Indian GDP has increased six-fold since the time the last Indian PM visited Davos.
The prime minister also talked about a slew of other issues ranging from climate change to democracy. He pointed out that the Indian GDP has increased six-fold since the time the last Indian PM visited Davos. “Last time an Indian PM came to Davos was in 1997, when Deve Gowda had come. That time our GDP was little more than 400 billion dollars, now its more than six times,” he said.
PM Modi will also interact with the members of international business community of the WEF later in the day.
