Speech by the Minister of External Affairs Shri Pranab Mukherjee, at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas on “Developmental Challenges of the States: Partnership Opportunities”
New Delhi,January 8, 2007 |
 |

 |

My colleagues from the Cabinet,
Chief Ministers,
President CII, Shri Seshasayee,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am happy this morning to be in the midst of this distinguished gathering of overseas Indians from across the world. The observance of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in the first week of January has gained a prominent place on all our calendars. There could probably not be too many better ways to begin a new year than such an occasion that provides us the opportunity to meet, compare notes and generate fresh ideas that all of us gathered here could harness to mutual benefit. The overseas Indian community today constitutes a significant economic, social and cultural force in the world. In the recent past, the community has also made its presence felt by gaining positions of political leadership and public authority. Professionals and business leaders of Indian origin are already playing a role in the economic growth story of India. I have no doubt that this role will continue to strengthen and grow in the future.
