Address by External Affairs Minister on âChabahar Dayâ at the Maritime India Summit 2021
Excellencies, Friends, Ladies & Gentlemen,
On behalf of the Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of India, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to this event. I congratulate my colleague, Minister of State Shri Mansukh Mandaviya ji, for the successful organization of the second edition of the Maritime India Summit and the Chabahar Day.
Excellencies,
The search for efficient trade routes and better connectivity has been one of the powerful driving forces of history. It has determined the prospects of many nations, regions and civilizations over time. Today, as the world goes through a fundamental re-balancing, correcting many of the distortions of the past, it is only natural that connectivity should be central to that exercise.
