Asserting that this is for the first time in history that the entire world is extremely optimistic towards India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that people, economists, politicians, and nations of the world have expressed confidence in India and the World Bank has also said that India will remain the fastest growing economy of the world.

The PM was addressing Indian and foreign industrialists, investors, and envoys of various countries, after inaugurating the two-day 'Invest Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit 2025' (GIS) at the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya (National Museum of Humankind) at Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh.

"The world is confident about India, because India delivers what it promises," the PM asserted. He said that some international reports have cited India as the 'superpower of solar power' and some have predicted that the 'future of the world is in India'.

He pointed out that the path of the country's progress goes hand in hand with the path of the progress of its states too.

The PM said Madhya Pradesh is also one of the most significant states in that direction. The PM stated, "Viksit MP se Viksit Bharat ka nirmaan hoga," (A developed MP will lead to a developed India).
