India Global Week 2020 is a three-day virtual conference themed ‘Be The Revival: India and a Better New World’ and will have 5000 global participants from 30 nations.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday delivered the inaugural address on Day 1 of India Global Week 2020 and said there is faith that India has a leading role to play in global revival in the post-COVID-19 world.
"In these times, it is natural to talk about revival. It is equally natural to link global revival and India. There is faith that the story of global revival will have India playing a leading role," Modi said.
"World over, you have seen the contribution of India's talent-force. Who can forget the Indian tech industry and tech professionals? They have been showing the way for decades. India is a power-house of talent that is eager to contribute," he added.
Modi further called Indians as 'natural reformers', saying that history is proof of that.
"Indians are natural reformers. History shows that India has overcome every challenge be it social or economic. On one hand, India is fighting a strong battle against the global pandemic. With an increased focus on people's health, we are equally focussed on the health of the economy," the Prime Minister added.
