“In an era of shifting global power dynamics, India has emerged as a formidable player on the world stage, thanks to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Under the stable and visionary Government at the Centre, India is no longer just a participant in global affairs but a decisive force shaping the future of international diplomacy, economic growth, and strategic partnerships,” he said, while addressing media persons at the BJP headquarters, here today.
Pointing out that after several years, air flights between India and China are resuming, Gaurav said that the development underscores the importance of diplomatic engagement between the two nations. He emphasized that even China now acknowledges the significance of maintaining stable and constructive relations with India.
Referring to recent high-level diplomatic engagements, he stated that during the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Johannesburg, South Africa, bilateral talks were conducted between India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr S Jaishankar, and his Chinese counterpart. The discussions resulted in key decisions, including the resumption of air flights between India and China, maintaining peace along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), and the possible revival of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a pilgrimage of great spiritual importance to millions of Indians, he elaborated.
Gaurav Gupta also drew attention towards Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to France, where discussions co-chaired by both nations focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and defence cooperation, including the successful negotiations over the Pinaka missile deal. “In a remarkable shift, France is now looking to procure this advanced missile system from India, a testament to India’s emergence as a global defence leader,” he added.
Gaurav claimed that under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India has positioned itself as a formidable force in the global arena, with nations across the world seeking stronger alliances with New Delhi. “Even US President Donald Trump, recognizing India’s rising prominence, echoed a sentiment of mutual prosperity by aligning his slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ with ‘Make India Great Again,’ he added.
“The crux of all these developments is that India, under the leadership of PM Modi, is no longer just a participant in global affairs but a decisive force shaping the future of international diplomacy, economic growth, and strategic partnerships,” he emphasized.
In the press conference, Gaurav was accompanied by BJP spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan and senior leader Rajinder Singh Chib.
