Following is the text of the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's departure statement prior to his visit to Singapore.

“I will be visiting Singapore on 14-15 November, to participate in the ASEAN-India and East Asia Summits. In addition, I would also participate in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Leaders' Meeting.

My participation in these meetings symbolizes our continued commitment to strengthening our engagement with ASEAN Member States and with the wider Indo-Pacific region. I am looking forward to my interactions with other ASEAN and East Asia Summit Leaders.

On 14 November, I will have the honour to be the first Head of Government to deliver the Keynote Address at the Singapore Fintech Festival. As the world's largest event on financial technology, the Festival is the right forum not only to showcase India's strengths in this fast-growing sector, but also to forge global partnerships for fostering innovation and growth.

During my visit, I will also have the opportunity to interact with the participants and winners of the joint India-Singapore Hackathon. It is my firm belief that if we provide the right encouragement and a nurturing ecosystem, our youth has the ability to become global leaders in providing solutions to the challenges facing humanity.

I am confident that my visit to Singapore will impart fresh momentum to our growing partnership with ASEAN and East Asia Summit nations.

As I depart for Singapore, I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to Singapore for their able Chairmanship of ASEAN this year, and convey my best wishes for all success in hosting ASEAN and related Summits”.

March 17, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today, highlighting the significance of self-confidence and inner strength in conquering life's most difficult obstacles.

The Prime Minister remarked that for an individual filled with courage and resolve, nothing in life is impossible. Shri Modi affirmed that we can overcome the most difficult challenges on the strength of willpower and self-confidence.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

"जो व्यक्ति साहस और संकल्प से भरा हो, उसके लिए जीवन में कुछ भी असंभव नहीं। आत्मविश्वास और इच्छाशक्ति के बल पर हम कठिन से कठिन चुनौतियों को पार कर सकते हैं।

एकोऽपि सिंहः साहस्रं यूथं मथ्नाति दन्तिनाम् ।
तस्मात् सिंहमिवोदारमात्मानं वीक्ष्य सम्पतेत्॥"

Just as one lion has the power to defeat a thousand elephants, in the same way a person should engage in noble actions fearlessly, with courage, confidence, and inner strength like a lion.
