Your Excellency President Dilma Rousseff,

Your Excellency President Vladimir Putin,

Your Excellency President Xi Jinping,

Your Excellency President Jacob Zuma,

•I wish to join my other colleagues and congratulate President Dilma Rousseff on her re-election as the President of Brazil.

•From Brazil to Brisbane, it has been most successful journey under your leadership.

•Our group will continue to benefit from your visionary leadership.

•I would also like to thank President Rousseff for hosting today`s meeting.

•The historic 6th BRICS Summit in Fortaleza delivered - the New Development Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement.

•These signal our collective capacities to create and manage global institutions.

•These can be effective in promoting sustainable development and bridge infrastructure gaps. We can be more aligned to local conditions and requirements. We should focus on next generation infrastructure.

•We can promote new models of governance and financing, while maintaining the highest banking standards. We should also make it more participatory.

•We need to work towards their early implementation.

•We propose that we should set the target of 2016 for inauguration of this Bank.

•We hope to ratify the agreement by the end of the year. We would soon nominate our candidate for the post of the Presidency.

•The Contingent Reserve Arrangement is also a very timely initiative.

•The work on the Reinsurance pool among BRICS is also a welcome one. We hope that our officials will be able to come up with a concrete proposal by the next year.

•These measures send a strong message to the rest of the world about the efficacy of BRICS.

•Besides these, we have started work on many other proposals that would deepen our relations and enhance our cooperation in all spheres.

Thank You.

PM Modi’s message at World Food India Program
September 19, 2024

It is a pleasure to learn about the organisation of World Food India 2024. Greetings and best wishes to all the participants who have come from various parts of the world.

The participation of several nations showcases World Food India 2024 as a vibrant platform for the brightest minds from global food industry, academia and research to make the most of increasing opportunities, share and engage in a two-way learning from each other's experiences.

India has a vibrant and diverse food culture. The backbone of Indian food ecosystem is the farmer. It is farmers who have ensured the creation of nutritious and delicious traditions of culinary excellence. We are supporting their hard work with innovative policies and focused implementation.

In the modern era, through progressive agricultural practices, strong administrative frameworks and cutting-edge technologies, our effort is to ensure that India sets global benchmarks for innovation, sustainability and safety in the food sector.

During the last 10 years, we have introduced wide-ranging reforms to transform the food processing sector. Through multi-dimensional initiatives such as 100% FDI in food processing, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana, formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises, Production Linked Incentive scheme for food processing industries, we are creating a strong ecosystem of modern infrastructure, robust supply chains and employment generation across the country.

An important part of our vision is to empower small enterprises. We want our MSMEs to flourish and become an integral part of the global value chain and at the same time, encourage women to become micro entrepreneurs.

At such a juncture, World Food India is an ideal platform for us to work with the world through B2B interactions and exhibitions, Reverse Buyer-Seller meets, and country, state and sector-specific sessions.

Additionally, the organisation of Global Food Regulators Summit by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India - FSSAI will bring together global regulators including WHO, FAO and several prestigious domestic institutes to discuss a wide gamut of issues such as food safety, quality standards and best practices.

Further, I am sure that important topics such as food irradiation to enhance food safety and reduce food wastage, plant-based proteins to promote nutrition and sustainability, as well as the circular economy will be showcased.

Let us march ahead and realize the dream of building a sustainable, safe, inclusive and nutritious world.
