Reunions, reflections, and a bit of nostalgia at the 11th Heads of Mission Conference.

Thought-provoking address by PM @narendramodi sets the tone for what lies ahead! Wonderful catching up with batchmates and colleagues—some things never change!

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Attended the Heads of Missions Conference in New Delhi. We had extensive discussions on strengthening India’s global engagement through advancing trade, technology and strategic partnerships, while deepening the connect with our diaspora.

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

PM @narendramodi’s address was the highlight of the 11th Heads of Mission Conference that concluded today.

The importance of 3Ts (Trade, Technology & Tourism) for Indian diplomacy was clearly recognised in the deliberations.

Neighbourhood First, deeper engagement with diaspora,
resilience and de-risking were also discussed.

The Conference benefited from the views of prominent figures from the Government, business and technology worlds.

The active exchange of ideas during its various sessions lived up to the theme: ‘Reforming Indian Diplomacy for 2047’.

Secretary(CPV & OIA) Arun Kumar Chatterjee graced the National Day reception of Czech Republic @CZinNewDelhi as the Chief Guest. He highlighted 🇮🇳-🇨🇿 partnership focusing on innovation, historical cultural & academic ties, defence, S&T, tourism and trade.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Gujarat, a drought-prone state became a top performing state in agriculture. The culture of trading expanded into robust industrial and manufacturing capacities. Regular curfews became a thing of the past. Social and physical infrastructure received a boost. It was very satisfying to be able to work with the people to achieve these outcomes.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

These 25 years have been filled with many experiences. Together, we have made remarkable strides. I still recall that when I took over as CM, it was believed that Gujarat could never rise again. Common citizens, including farmers, complained about lack of power and water. Agriculture was in the doldrums and industrial growth was stagnant. From there, we all worked collectively to make Gujarat a powerhouse of good governance.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

When I took oath as Chief Minister, I remember my Mother telling me - I do not have much understanding of your work but I only seek two things. First, you will always work for the poor and second, you will never take a bribe. I also told people that whatever I do will be with the best intent and will be inspired by a vision to serve the very last person in the queue.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

It was in very testing circumstances that my Party entrusted me with the responsibility of being Gujarat CM. The state was suffering due to a massive earthquake in the same year. The preceding years had witnessed a super cyclone, successive droughts and political instability. Those challenges strengthened the resolve to serve people and rebuild Gujarat with renewed vigour and hope.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

On this day in 2001, I took oath as Gujarat’s Chief Minister for the first time. Thanks to the continuous blessings of my fellow Indians, I am entering my 25th year of serving as the head of a Government. My gratitude to the people of India. Through all these years, it has been my constant endeavour to improve the lives of our people and contribute to the progress of this great nation that has nurtured us all.

Foreign Secretary @VikramMisri has discharged his duties with unwavering dedication during a critical moment for the nation.

The vile trolling and doxxing of him and his family is disgraceful and completely unacceptable. We stand in full solidarity with him.

The IFS fraternity continues to serve our great nation with courage and integrity.

[Indian Foreign Service Association @indiandiplomats]

The officers of the Indian Foreign Service strongly condemn the recent attacks on the Foreign Secretary for actions undertaken as part of his official duties. 1/2

Nic nenecháváme náhodě. @lepsivlada představuje pravidelně velvyslancům, jak uchopíme zahraniční vztahy a ekonomickou diplomacii. S indickým velvyslancem @raveesh_kumar jsme se shodli, že je třeba méně frází a více konkrétních kroků. Udělám vše, abychom vztahy s Indií posílili.
