Your Excellency President Enrique Peña Nieto

Dear Friends,

Muchas gracias, Señor Presidente!
Thank you, Mr. President for your generous welcome. 

I am particularly touched by your warmth and hospitality. Although this is my first visit to your great country as the Prime Minister, I had experienced the richness of your culture during my travel in early nineties as a common Indian. We are meeting for the third time in last two years. I have always found my conversations with you deeply stimulating. I truly value your friendship Mr. President.

Friends, Mexico was the first Latin American country to recognize India. Since then, the trajectory of our all round bilateral ties has shown growing intensity. In 2007 we established Privileged Partnership. Today, during our conversations, President and I held productive discussions on the entire range of bilateral relations, and on global issues of mutual interests. We have agreed to work and develop a roadmap of concrete outcomes to upgrade our ties to a Strategic Partnership.

Friends,

Ties of business and investment are an important driver of our relationship. Mexico is an important partner for India’s energy security. We are now looking to move beyond a buyer-seller relationship, and into a long-term partnership. Information technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, and automotive industries are among key growth areas of our commercial linkages. But, there is potential to expand our commercial and investment, and Science and Technology partnerships in new areas. In this regard, President and I agreed to find ways to deepen our cooperation in Space, and science and technology. We will also prioritize concrete projects in areas of agricultural research; bio-technology; waste management; disaster warning and management, and solar energy. I would like to particularly thank President Pena Nieto for his support to the International Solar Alliance. It will transform the global canvas for solar technology, especially for developing and Small Island Developing countries.

Friends,

President and I recognize the opportunities and challenges of this century. We both feel that our growing convergence on international issues allows us to join our capacities to strengthen international regimes of strategic importance. I thank President Pena Nieto for Mexico's positive and constructive support for India's membership of the NSG

Excellency,

I see in you a reformer and believer in the destiny of this country. I too am focused on reforming India's economic and governance structures. This is one area where our sharing of best practices can benefit both our societies. Friends, In his book "In Light of India”, the great author Octavio Paz wrote, "I can understand what it means to be Indian, because I am Mexican”. Of course, it is true the other way too! I believe we have succeeded today in strengthening this mutual understanding further. It has been a wonderful visit. Excellency, I once again thank you for your welcome, your friendship and belief in India-Mexico friendship. And, I look forward to welcoming you Señor Presidente in India at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you, Thank you very much.

PM Modi ignites Dum Dum with fiery address
April 24, 2026
TMC is an anti-women party. The BJP works on a women-led development model: PM Modi in Dum Dum
On 4 May, after the results are declared, TMC goons will have no place to hide. No one will be able to protect them: PM Modi
The Ayushman Yojana is not active in Bengal. When the BJP forms the government, people will receive free treatment of up to ₹5 lakh: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a massive public gathering in Dum Dum, West Bengal, delivering a high-energy speech that resonated strongly with the people of Bengal. He congratulated the citizens for the visible wave of change and asserted that the first phase of polling had already signaled a decisive shift in the state’s political landscape.

Opening his remarks, the PM said, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the people of Bengal. The wave of change that had been building for a long time has now been stamped by the first phase of voting. The support seen for BJP has sounded the bugle of victory.”

He sharply criticized the ruling party, stating that democracy had been undermined in the state. “In the Bengal where TMC crushed the temple of democracy and weakened it with authoritarianism, the people have begun rebuilding that temple through their vote. Now, in the next phase, you must hoist the flag of victory on it,” he said.

Highlighting the public mood, PM Modi remarked that there was a growing call for change across the state. “Today, one voice echoes across Bengal - ‘Poriborton dorkar, chai BJP shorkar!’” he declared, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

Invoking the legacy of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, he framed the election as a new movement for freedom from multiple challenges. “This is a moment of a new revolution in Bengal. With your single vote, we will secure freedom- freedom from fear, corruption, syndicates, atrocities on women, forced migration, unemployment and infiltration,” he added.

The PM also focused extensively on women’s empowerment and safety. “I have come here to assure every daughter of Bengal, BJP will not let your dreams be crushed. After May 4, every case of injustice will be opened. This is Modi’s guarantee,” he asserted.

Contrasting governance models, he reiterated, “TMC is anti-women, while BJP believes in women-led development. We are committed to providing safety, dignity and prosperity to every woman.” He outlined welfare measures including direct financial support, housing assistance, healthcare under Ayushman Bharat and schemes aimed at economic empowerment.

Addressing the middle class, PM Modi emphasized tax relief, affordable digital access and housing benefits. He noted that policy changes over the past decade had reduced financial burdens and improved quality of life. He urged voters to bring a ‘double-engine government’ to Bengal for accelerated development.

PM Modi also criticized the alleged ‘syndicate raj’ and lack of industrial growth under the current government. “Factories are shutting down, youth are migrating and opportunities are shrinking. This must change,” he said, urging people to vote for a government that prioritizes jobs and infrastructure.

Speaking specifically about Dum Dum, he highlighted civic issues such as outdated drainage systems, waterlogging and traffic congestion. “We do not want a makeshift Dum Dum; we want an engineered, modern Dum Dum. Only BJP can deliver that with a vision for the future,” he said.

Concluding his speech, PM Modi called upon voters to ensure BJP’s victory in the upcoming phase. “You must send BJP candidates to the assembly and form a BJP government here. When PM and CM work together, development will happen day and night,” he said, ending on a note of strong optimism and determination.
