me elaborate. India celebrates openness in people and in governance,” he added. Modi also noted that the approach to the future must primarily be more human-centric. “We all agree that the
world is in need of a better future. It is all of us who have to collectively give shape to the future. I firmly believe that our approach to the future must primarily be a more
