Nay Pyi Taw: Asserting that India and ASEAN have “no irritants” in their ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday invited the 10-nation bloc to be part of his country’s “new” economic journey even as his strong “Make in India” pitch got the support of the grouping.
The Prime Minister in his interaction in Hindi at the round table said that a “new era” of economic development, industrialisation and trade has begun in India and and that the rapidly developing country and ASEAN can be “great partners” for each other.
Noting that India’s ‘Look East’ policy has become ‘Act East’ policy, Mr Modi assured the Asean leaders that he will give his “sustained personal” attention to India's relations with the regional bloc.
“We have embarked on a new economic journey in India, we invite you to this new environment in India,” Mr Modi said. The Asean plans to became one economic community by the end of next year.
