Had a wonderful meeting with PM Keir Starmer in Evian. The last year has been outstanding as far as India-UK relations are concerned. The trade deal has opened many avenues of economic cooperation. Today’s talks focused on how to add even more momentum to India-UK ties.

We discussed ways to work closely in areas like innovation, AI, skill development, sports and more. We also discussed how to increase investment linkages for the benefit of the people of our nations.
Emphasised that the Global South has immense expectations from the world. More than support, it seeks partnership.
We must move beyond the donor-recipient mindset and work as equal partners!
We must walk together and not merely alongside one another.
Partnerships must be linked to dignity, not dependency.
Highlighted India’s efforts in Africa, including the focus on training, capacity building, water resources, agriculture and energy. These are strengthening the capacities of African nations and helping them provide solutions to pressing global challenges.
India believes that the true test of partnership is not what we build for others, but what we enable others to build for themselves.
Our development partnerships reflect the same spirit.
Our efforts have focused on capacity building and skill development in partner countries.
Mutual trust is the most important strategic asset today.
But, sadly, today, the world does not suffer from a shortage of resources…it suffers from a shortage of trust.
And the future of our partnerships depends on re-building this trust.
We, in India, view the world as one family.
Our experience shows that development is most effective when it is connected to the aspirations of people.
This principle also forms the basis of our international partnerships like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, Mission LiFE, and ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ (A tree for mother).
Shared my thoughts at the Outreach Session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’ at the G7 Summit in Evian. In a world that is getting more interconnected and interdependent than ever before, this subject becomes all the more vital. But, partnerships can succeed only when they are founded on trust.

Reached Evian, France for the G7 Summit.
Looking forward to engaging with world leaders and exchanging views on key global issues.
India remains committed to advancing collective efforts for a more sustainable and prosperous planet.

Reached Geneva short while ago, from where I will go to Evian for the G7 Summit. At the airport, met Mr. Guy Parmelin, President of the Swiss Confederation. Had a great discussion with him.

Concluding a historic and productive visit to Slovakia. The outcomes of this visit will go a long way in strengthening bilateral ties between our nations. Stronger trade relations will greatly benefit our youth. Gratitude to the Slovakian government and people for the warmth.
I am very grateful to Prime Minister Fico for coming to see me off.

Prezident Pellegrini a ja sme s potešením sledovali špeciálnu ukážku jogy v podaní slovenských školákov.
Keďže sa blíži Medzinárodný deň jogy, teší nás, že si mladá generácia osvojuje jogu a objavuje jej prínosy.
Rovnako nás teší, že joga naďalej spája ľudí v spoločnom úsilí o zdravie, pohodu a harmonický život.

Včera večer som sa v Bratislave stretol s Dr. Róbertom Gáfrikom, ktorý stojí na čele úsilia o preklad Upanišád do slovenského jazyka.
Jeho nadšenie pre indické dejiny, kultúru a spiritualitu je obdivuhodné.
Was wonderful meeting you, President Pellegrini. Happy to have continued the important conversations we had when we last met. Your insights are indeed great to hear.
