They said the Indian economy is booming due to the development of infrastructure under PM Modi.
The Suriname ambassador to India, Arunkoemar Hardien, told ANI, “With the pace of development that is taking place across different sectors in recent years, India can achieve its goal of Viksit Bharat before 2047.”
Charles Rwanga, Consular, Embassy of Burundi, said India is a country of diversity and PM Modi is doing a great job of keeping the country together by preserving India’s rich spiritual and cultural legacy.
“PM Modi chose Varanasi (as his Lok Sabha constituency) because of the cultural things that bind the country as one. The force of India lies in its culture and if PM Modi is working on that one, there is a reason. PM Modi has done a wonderful job with his wonderful ideas,” he told ANI.
