Auckland [New Zealand]/Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], October 7 (ANI/PRNewswire): Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand has extended an invitation to Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India to visit New Zealand. She extended this invitation while participating in 'Vishwa Sadbhavana' event which was a part of the Kiwi Indian Hall of Fame awards, jointly organised by the NID Foundation and the Indian Weekender at Auckland in New Zealand, where two books depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unique and hugely successful governance were also unveiled, in the presence of Dr S Jaishankar, Minister for External Affairs. Two Books 'Heartfelt-The Legacy Of Faith' and 'Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery' on PM Modi's governance model internationally released at Auckland. Indian Diaspora hails PM Modi's development model, farsighted policies for the welfare of Indians across the globe. "PM Narendra Modi turned India's developmental journey into mass movement, has established India as a global superpower": Dr S Jaishankar, Minister for External Affairs. In her address as the chief guest, Prime Minister Ms Jacinda Ardern said that New Zealand and India share a lot of things among them, and that the relationship between two countries has been growing stronger and there is a massive potential for the growth in the times to come. "In a world that is becoming increasingly volatile, New Zealand and India share a lot of things. Both the nations care for our democratic traditions and share an interest in a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region. We share concerns for climate change and we have similar passions for celebrating different cultures and traditions. Engagements like today's, not only deepen our relationship, but also progresses our aspirations," said the Prime Minister, while inviting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit New Zealand. "As New Zealand and India celebrate the 70th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries, I am happy to note that our ties have been growing stronger than ever. The trade between the two countries continued despite the global challenges and I see a massive potential for the growth in coming times," the Prime Minister said, adding that she discussed with Minister Jaishankar, a range of opportunities for partnerships between the two countries. "I believe that the bridge between the two countries has been and will always be our people. Indians started living here in the 1890s and are New Zealand's largest ethnic community today, constituting 5% of our population. No wonder, Hindi is the 5th most spoken language in New Zealand. The contribution of Indians to the progress of New Zealand has been commendable," she said, and also released a special postal stamp issued by New Zealand Post to commemorate the 75 years of Indian Independence, along with Minister Jaishankar. Other members of New Zealand cabinet including Nanaia Mahuta, New Zealand Foreign Minister, David Parker, Attorney-General, Minister of Revenue and Associate Minister of Finance; Jan Tinetti, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister for Women; Minister Phil Twyford, Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth, Associate Minister for the Environment and Associate Minister of Immigration; Minister Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities, and Associate Minister for Social Development & Employment; Michael Wood, Minister for Immigration & Transport, were also present on the occasion. Dr S Jaishankar, Minister for External Affairs said, "Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has turned India's developmental journey into a mass movement and it is under his able leadership that India has established itself as a global superpower to an extent that other nations look up to India in the matters of development and crisis alike." More than 750 eminent people from Indian Diaspora and New Zealand, particularly the business and entrepreneur community from Gujarat and Punjabi Sikh community, and including members of New Zealand Parliament including MPs Melissa Lee, Paul Goldsmith, Simeon Brown, Karen Chhour, Damien Smith, Andrew Bayly, Simon O Connor, Erica Stanford, Chris Luxon, Leader of the opposition, David Seymour, Leader of the ACT party, Thought Leaders, Entrepreneurs, Corporate leaders, educationists, Spiritual Leaders including Ms Neeta Bhushan, Indian High Commissioner to New Zealand; Satnam Singh Sandhu, Chief Patron, NID Foundation and Chancellor, Chandigarh University; Prof Himani Sood, Founder NID Foundation; Mr Phil Goff, Mayor of Auckland and former Foreign Minister of New Zealand, Former MP and former leader of the National Party Simon Bridges and Former Governor General of New Zealand, Sir Anand Satyanand, and Mr Bhav Dhillon, Honorary Consul of India, along with CEOs of top companies like HCL, Infosys, Bank of India and Bank of Baroda were present at the historic event organised at Grand Ball Room of Cordis Hotel, Auckland. The External Affairs Minister said, "From eradicating gender discrimination to strengthening health infrastructure, from empowering women by providing LPG gas cylinders to every household and skill development to every woman, to emancipating the common citizens of the country by their massive financial inclusion, and from making India a truly global education hub, to the digital transformation across the country, the Prime Minister has taken myriad initiatives to transform India into a truly superpower." Addressing the gathering, Dr S Jaishankar said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India's clout at global level has been increasing over the past 8 years, and the nation has now established itself as a global superpower." "With his pro-people governance model and farsighted policies, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has made India's developmental journey into a mass movement leading to unprecedented growth and prosperity, even as he has led India to its strongest position on the global map, to such extent that other nations look up to India in the matters of development and crisis alike," added Dr Jaishankar. "Our journey to the top is fuelled by our strong economy, large yet youngest population and growing international influence. Yet in line with the ancient Indian philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world as one family), which is also the principle of Prime Minister, India has never dreamt of its own uplift at the cost of another's loss. India wishes for the welfare of the entire humanity and the whole world. The spirit of Vishwa Sadhbhavana stems from this very love and respect that India and the Prime Minister has for the people and humanity at the Global level. We have seen the efforts made by the country to bring the entire world together. This very spirit is the spirit of Sadhbhavana," the minister said. The Minister said that the trust and reassurance that the Indian diaspora across the globe have on the Indian government and particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been astounding. "The Indians living abroad have a belief that this government of Narendra Modi has got their back. Be it any situation, the Prime Minister has always made sure that he personally intervenes and oversees the circumstances. This was reflected in the evacuation of more than 4600 Indians from Yemen in Operation Rahat and that of over 20 thousand students from war-torn Ukraine in Operation Ganga. The love and respect for the Indian diaspora is now an important part of India's foreign policy. On his foreign visits, despite a punishing schedule, the Prime Minister always takes out time to meet the Indian diaspora living in that country," he said. "Over the recent years, Indian diplomacy has become much more responsive and responsible, and the credit for this difference goes to our leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he added.
