“When I took oath in 2014, many of our critics said that what experience does Modi have outside a state. Many things were said about foreign policy. Recently I visited UAE and Qatar. The world is seeing how our relations with other countries are better in trade, tourism, and technology.Five Arab countries gave me the highest honour of their country, this is not the honour of PM Modi but the honour of 140 crore countrymen,”he remarked.

PM Modi’s official visits to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from February 13-14 and to Qatar from February 14-15 further solidified bilateral ties.


Previously, while praising PM Modi’s foreign policy, Home Minister Amit Shah had remarked that there used to be a misconception suggesting that prioritising international friendships meant compromising national security.

Nevertheless, PM Modi affirmed that “nothing surpasses India’s security,” with Shah highlighting Modi’s efforts to transform India into a global leader and foster a sense of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” where everyone perceives the world as one large family.

Minister of State for External Affairs, Meenakshi Lekhi, who was also present at the event, echoed Shah’s sentiments, highlighting the transformation in India’s foreign relations from being solely focused on oil to encompassing broader cooperation across regions.

The BJP National Convention served as a platform to showcase the party’s achievements and vision for the future, both domestically and on the global stage.
