Saddened by the loss of lives and destruction caused by today’s earthquake in Mindanao, Philippines. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayers for the speedy recovery of those injured. India stands in solidarity with the people and the Government of the Philippines.

Great to be back at Microsoft Build today. For us, it is not about any one piece of technology or even the platform.
It is about how we can build a frontier intelligence ecosystem together.
Sharing some of our big announcements today ...
A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Hello. How are you? Thank you. I love you. Please.
Some of the most frequently translated phrases of the past 20 years!
Google Translate began twenty years ago with a mission to help people understand one another, regardless of the language they speak. What started as a small experiment has become a global tool that helps over 1 billion users every month.
In that time Translate has evolved from simple pattern matching to true understanding. In 2006, it relied on statistical machine learning to look for patterns in small word clusters. By 2016, we pioneered a shift to neural networks to move beyond literal word-for-word translations, and today we’re using our powerful Gemini models to make Translate even more helpful.
We are moving from text to fluid, real-time conversations. With our latest models, you can even use your headphones as a personal interpreter that preserves your original tone and cadence - it’s an amazing experience!
One of the interesting things about AI is that as we make progress, we begin to take it for granted. If you met a person who could translate across a hundred languages faster than any human can, you would be so impressed. Today, one product does that for nearly 250 languages, and we kind of just shrug.
Being able to say thank you in 250 languages is not something I take for granted. So to the 1 billion who use Google Translate - merci, dhanyavaad, arigatō, gracias, and thank you! Let’s see what the next 20 years will bring.
Today at 8:28 a.m., MTerra Solar delivered its first electron to the national grid, the first energy as a power generator. Just 16 months from groundbreaking, we are now live and generating mid-merit supply by Meralco. Well done!
Met a group from the Malaysia India Heritage Society. They are doing commendable work in popularising Indian culture in Malaysia. Had also talked about them during last month’s #MannKiBaat.
They presented a book on the role of Sanskrit in the historical connect between India and Malaysia.
During the welcome by the Indian community in Kuala Lumpur, there was a Wayang Kulit puppet performance by artists from the Akademi Arjunasukma, showcasing ‘Titah Seri Rama.’ The performance beautifully reflected the shared cultural threads that connect us and also highlighted the timeless resonance of the Ramayan across countries.
Indian culture shines bright in Malaysia!
In Kuala Lumpur, I saw several diverse aspects of our people-to-people linkages. This includes a Ramayan-themed Bharatanatyam performance by dancers from the Temple of Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur and a Silambam martial arts demonstration by the Malaysian Silambam Porrkalai Council.
These vibrant expressions of tradition beautifully reflect how our shared civilisational heritage continues to flourish across generations and geographies.
A group of students from the Malaysia Hindu Sangam recited Tirumurai devotional songs. It is commendable how the Tamil community in Malaysia has preserved and popularised their heritage over the last several years.
Glimpses from the ceremonial welcome at Perdana Putra in Putrajaya.
India and Malaysia continue to deepen a partnership rooted in trust, friendship and shared aspirations.

Had an excellent meeting with PM Anwar Ibrahim at Seri Perdana earlier today. India and Malaysia are maritime neighbours who have always enjoyed a close friendship. We reviewed developmental cooperation in sectors like trade, infrastructure, energy, IT, biotechnology and more. We also agreed to strengthen cooperation in the field of security, defence, AI, digital technologies and semiconductors.

At the lunch hosted by my friend, PM Anwar Ibrahim, one of the songs sung was Naalai Namathe, from a movie starring the great MGR!
PM Anwar Ibrahim, like several of us in India, is a big fan of MGR!

Berinteraksi dengan para Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) dari India dan Malaysia. Forum CEO telah membuka peluang baharu dalam perdagangan dan pelaburan bagi kedua-dua negara kita.
Last year, I was unable to visit Malaysia for the ASEAN Summit. But, I had promised my friend, PM Anwar Ibrahim that I would come to Malaysia at the earliest opportunity.
And now, my first international visit of 2026 took place in Malaysia. This visit will boost economic and cultural linkages between our nations.
My gratitude to PM Anwar Ibrahim, the Government and people of Malaysia for the affection.
