We are not merely reforming India but are transforming India: PM Modi
An India free from poverty, terrorism, corruption, communalism, casteism is being created: PM
Good infrastructure is no longer about roads and rail only. It includes several other aspects that bring a qualitative change in society: PM
We have not shied away from taking decisions that are tough. For us, the nation is bigger than politics: PM
In addition to infrastructure, we are focussing on infraculture, which will help our hardworking farmers: PM Modi

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today addressed the Indian community in Yangon, Myanmar.

“You represent thousands of years of the shared culture and civilisation, geography and history, aspiration and achievements of the great sons and daughters of India and Myanmar,” the Prime Minister said, addressing the gathering. The Prime Minister elaborated on the rich spiritual traditions of Myanmar.

The Prime Minister said that the Indian diaspora is like “Rashtra-doot” for India. He said that the global recognition of Yoga is the achievement of the diaspora, who took it to all corners of the world.

 “When I meet you, I also feel that communication of our people living in foreign countries with government authorities in India is not a one way traffic any more,” the Prime Minister said.

“We are not merely reforming our country, we are transforming it,” the Prime Minister asserted, adding that an India free from poverty, terrorism, corruption, communalism, and casteism is being created. 

The Prime Minister said that the Union Government in India is focusing on infrastructure. He said that good infrastructure is no longer about roads and railways alone - it includes several other aspects that bring about a qualitative change in society. He said that the Government has not shied away from taking decisions that are tough.

The Prime Minister said GST is ushering in a new culture across the nation. He said that the people of India have the confidence that India can be transformed and we can break free from some of the evils that entered our system.

The Prime Minister said that people-to-people ties are the strength of India-Myanmar relations.

Mr. Phyo Min Thein, Chief Minister of Yangon Region, was present at the gathering.

President of Spain meets Prime Minister
February 18, 2026

President of Spain, HE Mr. Pedro Sánchez met the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today in New Delhi.

Both leaders discussed ways to boost the India-Spain friendship, especially in areas such as defence, security, technology and more.

Both nations are marking 2026 as the India-Spain Year of Culture, Tourism and AI.

In separate posts on X, Shri Modi wrote:

“Had a productive meeting with President Pedro Sánchez in Delhi. Discussed ways to boost the India-Spain friendship, especially in areas such as defence, security, technology and more. Our nations are marking 2026 as the India-Spain Year of Culture, Tourism and AI. This will deepen people-to-people linkages. Glad to see a big delegation of Universities also come to India. This too will go a long way in connecting our people.

The historic FTA with the EU will have a very positive impact on the economic partnership with Spain and provide new opportunities to the people of our nations.

“Tuve una reunión productiva con el presidente Pedro Sánchez en Delhi. Hablamos de formas de fortalecer la amistad entre la India y España, especialmente en ámbitos como la defensa, la seguridad, la tecnología y otros.

Nuestros países celebran 2026 como el Año India-España de la Cultura, el Turismo y la IA. Esto profundizará los vínculos entre nuestros pueblos. Me alegra ver que también ha venido a la India una gran delegación de universidades. Esto también contribuirá en gran medida a acercar a nuestros pueblos.

El histórico acuerdo de libre comercio con la UE tendrá un impacto muy positivo en la asociación económica con España y brindará nuevas oportunidades a los ciudadanos de nuestros países.
