I extend my heartfelt wishes to all of you for the year 2024. Bharat recently marked its 75th year of independence and is now diligently working towards its goals for the next 25 years, aiming to achieve developed status by the centennial celebration of our nation’s independence. This 25-year tenure is the period of ‘Amrit Kaal’ for Bharat. It signifies a period of fresh aspirations, new resolutions, and continual achievements. This first Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, held during the ‘Amrit Kaal,’ holds immense significance.
Representatives of more than 100 countries who have joined us in this summit are valuable allies in Bharat’s development journey. I extend a warm welcome and congratulations to all of you.
It brings us great pleasure to have the distinguished presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the President of the UAE, at this event. His attendance as the Chief Guest at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit symbolizes the ongoing strengthening of the warm relations between Bharat and the UAE. We heard his views a short while back. We value his unwavering belief in Bharat and his robust support. As he said – the Vibrant Gujarat Summit has become a global platform for sharing information and experiences related to economic development and investment.
