Trust Serves As India’s Most Potent Currency; Declares PM Modi In Malaysia

PM Modi said trust now stands as India’s strongest currency and underpins its role as a reliable global growth partner. Addressing the Indian community, PM Modi pointed to recent trade deals as evidence of India’s growing commercial trust.

He cited trade agreements with the UK, the US, the EU, the UAE, Australia, New Zealand and Oman.

PM Modi thanked Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for the warm welcome and for joining him at the community event.

PM Modi defined the bilateral relationship with the acronym IMPACT: India Malaysia Partnership for Advancing Collective Transformation.

He said India’s progress contributes directly to Malaysia’s prosperity and to wider Asian development.

PM Modi noted the diaspora numbers nearly three million and praised its contribution to Malaysia’s social and economic life.

He highlighted cultural ties and said many Malaysian schools continue to teach Indian languages, sustaining centuries-old links.
