PM Modi was inaugurating the three-day Global Maritime India Summit
CM Shinde attended the event along with other dignitaries at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. The third summit will be held from October 17 to 19 at MMRDA Grounds
"Recently, during the G20 Summit, a historic consensus was reached on forming an India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. This is a huge step at India's initiative, which could potentially rejuvenate the maritime industry across the world in the 21st century," PM Modi said
PM Modi said, "In this changing world order, the whole world is looking towards India with new aspirations. The Indian economy is gathering more strength while the world is in the grip of an economic crisis. The day is not far when India will be one of the top three economic powers of the world"
The summit is the biggest Maritime Event hosted in the country. The first Maritime India summit was held in 2016 in Mumbai while the second was held virtually in 2021
PM Modi further added, "History bears witness that whenever India's maritime capability has been strong, the country and the world have benefited greatly from it. Taking this as our guiding principle, we have been working in a planned manner for the last 9 years to strengthen this sector"
