Let me at the outset express my profound gratitude to you personally, to the Government and to the People of India for the warm hospitality and excellent facilities accorded to me and my delegation since our arrival, Mr Prime Minister.
We would like to recall the historical ties that bind us over the last century, emphasising particularly the role of two of your visionary Prime Ministers, Mr Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter, Ms Indira Ghandi.
Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was an active participant at the famous Bandung Conference in Indonesia in 1955 and subsequently a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. The principles enshrined in the Non-Aligned Movement are reflected in our South-South solidarity interactions in today’s challenging times.
