Jai Jai Garvi Gujarat. Thank you very much, Honourable Chief Minister Sir, for your welcome at rest. As mentioned by our Honourable Chief Minister Sir, our Chief Guest, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Honourable President of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi has to leave. Due to a pressing commitment, but before that, he has graciously agreed to say a few words. We welcome you, Sir. Thank you very much, Honourable Chief Minister Sir. Thank you, Your Highness. We profusely thank him for his words of appreciation. It is indeed our honour and privilege to have him over here. Our Honourable Prime Minister will see him off and will join us back in few moments. But we shall continue the program. On this occasion, we have with us some eminent captains of industry. We would like to request them to address the gathering and share their insightful perspectives, enriching this prestigious summit with their profound knowledge and vision. We would like to invite Sri Lakshmi Mithil, Chairman, Arsilar Mithil for his address. Hello. The Prime Minister is not here yet. He will be back soon. But I would like to welcome the Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupendra Bhai Patel, Governor Acharya Devaraj and my friends. And Honourable dignitaries. Last September, the 20th anniversary of Vibrant Gujarat came here. And the Prime Minister has told us how ideas, imagination and process continuity are based on this mega-global event. We have got an institutionalised structure. The Prime Minister has told us how one earth, one family, one future, will grow with the true feelings of India.  Honourable Minister Bhupendra Bhai Patel, I also invite you to keep your development ahead, to attract investments, and to increase administration. In Gujarat, there is an identity of fair, transparent and policy-driven governance. And in which my company has also experienced it. Steel is a major factor in the development of any road. Because this infrastructure development, urbanisation, renewable sectors, automotive industry, electric vehicles, defence, railways are very useful today. We are developing high-end products with the help of global technology, which is helping the steel consumers from SME to start-up to make competitive. Four years before Gujarat, I welcomed Arswamital Nipun Stil India. And in 2021, the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister did the earth expansion project. I am proud to tell you that this expansion project is growing rapidly. And according to Lax, its phase 1 will be completed in 2026. As Vibrant Gujarat, we have signed an MOU for the second phase in 2024. When this project will be completed in 2039, then with the support of 24 million tonnes of crude steel production, Arswamital Nipun Stil India's Hajira site will become one of the biggest single-location integrated steel plants in Bishu. We are confident that with the help of the Prime Minister, we will be able to complete this project in the next five years. We are not only investing in steel but also in renewable energy and emerging sectors like green hydrogen. I would like to say that the next 20 years are very important for our country and I would also like to assure all of you that we are ready to complete the vision of the 2040s of the growing India. I would now like to invite Mr. Toshihiro Suzuki, President of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, to please deliver his address. Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and all senior guests, Good morning and Namaskar. I am Toshihiro Suzuki from Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan. I am much honoured to be invited to this ceremony. In the past 10 years, under the strong leadership and constant support of Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Modi for manufacturing industries, Indian automobile market has been expanding steadily. As a result, India has become the third largest automobile market in the world. We, Suzuki have also scaled up production capacity substantially in India. It is not worth that as compared to 10 years ago. We expect 1.7 times in vehicle production and 2.6 times in export sales in the current physical year. Thanks to Prime Minister Mr. Modi's progressive approach and India's growth, we will invest in the future also. Firstly, the first battery electric vehicle from Suzuki Group will be rolled out from Suzuki Motor Group. By the end of this year, we plan to sell this model not only in India, but also export to Japan and European countries. Secondly, to expand our VEB production in future. Suzuki Group will invest 3200 crore rupees in Suzuki Motor Group to add a new force production line, which can produce 2.5 lakh units per year. This will increase the annual production capacity of Suzuki Motor Group from the current 7.5 lakh to 1 million units. Thirdly, we will invest 35000 crore rupees for the construction of a second car plant in Group, which would produce another 1 million units per year. As a result, the annual production capacity in Gujarat will be 2 million units, namely 1 million units at SMG and 1 million units as a second new plant. Finally, as far as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is concerned, our effort will be through a mud pathway approach. That means, in addition to vehicle electrification, we will offer mud-clue options, such as compressed natural gas, biogas, bioethanol, and green hydrogen. Taking advantage of India's animal wealth, we will start production of biogas from cow dung, together with National Daily Development Board and Banas Daily. Suzuki has already started construction of 4 biogas plant in Gujarat. Suzuki Group will always work to provide a variety of sustainable customer-oriented mobility options. Thank you for your kind attention. Thank you very much, sir. We would like to invite Shri Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Industries Limited. Most respected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Bhai, Honorable Chief Minister, Bupendra Bhai Patelji, distinguished guests and dignitaries from all over the world. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Gujarat and the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Summit, the most prestigious investor summit in the world today. No other summit of this kind has continued for 20 long years and going from strength to strength. This is a tribute to our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Bhai Modi's vision and consistency. I have been one of the fortunate few to have participated in every single edition of Vibrant Gujarat. I have come from the city of the gateway of India to the gateway of modern India's growth, Gujarat. I am a proud Gujarati. I believe in being a Gujarati. When foreigners think of New India, they think of a new Gujarat, a new Gujarat. How did this transformation happen? Because of one leader, our beloved leader who has emerged as the greatest global leader of our times. And he is, Shri Narendra Bhai Modi, the most successful Prime Minister in India's history. About Narendra Bhai, when you speak the whole world not only listens but applauds you. My friends abroad ask me what is the meaning of slogan that millions of Indians are chanting, that Modi hai toh mumkin hai. I tell them, most respected Shri Narendra Bhai Modi ji, when you speak the whole world not only listens but applauds you. My friends abroad ask me, what is the meaning of the slogan, millions of Indians are chanting, Modi hai toh mumkin hai. I tell them, it means India's Prime Minister makes the impossible possible with his vision, determination and execution. They agree and they also say, Modi hai toh mumkin hai. My esteemed friends, I will never forget what my father Dhirubhai Ambani used to tell me in my childhood. Gujarat is your matru bhoomi and Gujarat should always remain your karmbhoomi. Today, let me declare yet again, Reliance Wars is and will always remain a Gujarati company. Each of Reliance's business is striving to fulfil the dreams of my seven crore fellow Gujaratis. Reliance has invested over $150 billion, that is 12 lakh crores, in creating world-class assets and capacities across India in the last ten years. Of this, more than one-third has been invested in Gujarat alone. Honourable Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Bhai Patelji, today I would like to make five commitments to the people of Gujarat. First, Reliance will continue to play a leading role in Gujarat's growth story with significant investments in the next ten years. Specifically, Reliance will contribute to making Gujarat a global leader in green growth. We will help Gujarat target to meet half of its energy needs through renewable energy by the year 2030. For this, we have started building the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex, over 5,000 acres in Jamnagar. This will generate a large number of green jobs and enable production of green products and materials, and will make Gujarat a leading exporter of green products. And we are ready to commission this in the second half of 2024 itself. Second, Reliance Geo completed the fastest rollout of 5G infrastructure anywhere in the world. Today, Gujarat is fully 5G enabled, something that most of the world does not yet have. This will make Gujarat a global leader in digital data platforms and AI adoption. 5G enabled AI revolution will make Gujarat's economy more productive, more efficient and more globally competitive. Besides generating millions of new employment opportunities, it will produce AI enabled doctors, AI enabled teachers, and AI enabled farming, which will revolutionize healthcare, education and agricultural productivity in the state of Gujarat. This will benefit every Gujarati in urban as well as rural areas, since to my mind AI also means an all-inclusive growth. Third, Reliance Retail will further accelerate its mission to bring quality products to consumers and simultaneously empower lakhs of Kisan's and small merchants. Our retail business improves the quality of life of all households of Gujarat with better products and services. Fourth, Reliance will make Gujarat a pioneer in new materials and the circular economy. As a first step, Reliance is setting up India's first and world-class carbon fiber facility at Hazira. And finally, fifth, Prime Minister Modi has announced that India will bid for 2036 Olympics. In preparation for that, Reliance and Reliance Foundation will join forces with several other partners in Gujarat to improve education, sports and skills infrastructure that will nurture the champions of tomorrow in various Olympic sports. Most respected Prime Minister, Narendra Bhai Modiji. Before I conclude, permit me to articulate a conviction that resides in the heart of everyone in this hall and most Indians. As Chief Minister of Gujarat, you used to say, Bharat ke Vikas ke liye Gujarat ka Vikas. And that is how you made Gujarat India's growth engine. Now as Prime Minister of India, your mission is duniya ke Vikas ke liye Bharat ka Vikas. You are working on the mantra of global good and make India the world's growth engine. The story of your journey from Gujarat to the global stage in just two decades is nothing short of a modern epic. Today, and in today's India is the best time for young people to enter the economy, to innovate and to provide ease of living and ease of earning to hundreds of millions of people. The coming generations will indeed be thankful to Prime Minister Modi for being both a nationalist and an internationalist. You have laid a solid foundation for Vixit Bharat, India as a fully developed nation in Amritkal. No power on earth can stop India from becoming a $35 trillion dollar economy by 2047. And as I see, Gujarat alone will become a $3 trillion dollar economy. Therefore, I am confident every Gujarati is confident and every Indian is confident that the Modi era will take India to new summits of prosperity, progress and glory. Thank you very much, sir. Jai Gujarat, Jai Jai Garmi Gujarat, Jai Hind. Thank you very much, sir. We would now like to invite Mr. Sanjay Mehrodra, CEO, Micron Technologies USA to deliver his address. Namaste and good morning. I would like to open by thanking Prime Minister Modi ji. Your vision to make India a global hub for semiconductors will be huge economic driver for India's future as India marches toward becoming the third largest global economy. I would also like to recognize the several industry leaders who are going to be speaking here today and have already spoken. It truly is an honor for me to share the stage with you to open this critical forum discussing opportunities for India to accelerate domestic manufacturing as India marches towards a very bright future. There is a tremendous opportunity ahead for India in semiconductors. Vibrant Gujarat will also address the visionary ideas that are critical for India's growth as a semiconductor power. Today, I am proud to represent Micron. Micron is one of the world's largest semiconductor companies and the leader in memory and storage. Micron's innovations have been at the heart of all computing systems for more than four decades. Memory is a key enabler of AI, and Micron is a leading powerhouse in memory. I am proud that in June we announced plans to build a world-class memory assembly and test facility right here in Gujarat, the first of its kind in India. I am grateful to the Indian government and all the officials with the great support from Bhopendra Bhaiji and the central government and the state government, all that have been involved in making this investment possible. We have begun phased construction and proud to partner with Tata projects to build this world-class facility. In fact, I visited this facility just yesterday and the construction is coming along very nicely. The first phase, 500,000 square feet of planned clean room space will be operational by early 2025. Hiring has already begun, and we estimate that this project will create 5,000 new direct jobs for Micron here in Sanand, Gujarat, and will also create an additional 15,000 community jobs over the coming years. The combined investment by Micron and the government over the course of both phases could reach up to 2.75 billion US dollars. Government support will help fund the project and facilitate access to essential semiconductor infrastructure and resources, which will drive innovation and enhance local talent development. We see our investment helping initiate a cluster of semiconductor investment, building momentum that will benefit India's manufacturing goals. We are hopeful that our investment will help catalyze other investments in the sector, strengthen India's manufacturing capability, drive innovation, and support broader job creation. In fact, I'm pleased that my good friend Jeffrey Chan, who's going to be speaking here soon, of Simtech is considering bringing his manufacturing, substrate manufacturing capabilities here to Gujarat in support of Micron's plant here. This is an example of the ecosystem, the cluster that Micron is capable of generating as an anchored semiconductor company here in Gujarat, here in India. We are proud to partner with India to bring advanced semiconductor memory assembly and a greater technology manufacturing ecosystem to Gujarat. Together, we are building the future of technology manufacturing, not just for Micron, not just for Gujarat, not just for India, but for the world. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. We would now like to invite Shri Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. Honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendrave Modi, distinguished Heads of Government of her partner countries, His Excellency, Governor of Gujarat, Honourable Chief Minister, Shri Bupendrave Patel, distinguished Ministers, Captains of Industries, and my dear friends. Good morning. It is privilege to address the 10th Vibrant Gujarat Summit. I take immense pride in having been a part of every one of these summits. Honourable Prime Minister, Vibrant Gujarat is a stunning manifestation of your extraordinary vision. It has all your hallmarked signatures, merging grand ambition, massive scale, meticulous governance, and a flawless execution. It ignited a nationwide movement as all of our states marched forward competing and cooperating to fundamentally remodel India's industrial landscape. The statistics of the past decade are remarkable. Since 2014, India's GDP has grown by 185% and per capita income by a stunning 165%. This achievement is unparalleled, especially considering these decades geopolitical conflicts and pandemic challenges. Honourable Prime Minister, your achievements on the international stage are equally remarkable.  The Solar Alliance platform, an initiative you conceptualized, and your leadership at the G20 platform set a benchmark for a more inclusive world order. Adding the global south to the G20 is a defining moment in our modern history. Honourable Prime Minister, you don't just predict the future, you shape it. You have reoriented India to become the world's fastest growing nation and position her as the global social champion driven by the two philosophies of Vasudev Kutumbakam and Avishwa Guru. And the best is yet to come. With your foresight in harnessing India's youth to build a Vixit Bharat and make India a fully developed nation by 2047, you have ensured that the India of today is poised to shape the global future of tomorrow. Honourable Chief Minister, at the previous summit I announced our investment of over Rs. 55,000 crores by 2025. We have already surpassed Rs. 50,000 crores across the various sectors I had promised and have vastly exceeded our target of 25,000 direct and indirect jobs. Today I commit to further investments. We are constructing the world-largest green energy park in Akhavada district Kutch, generating 30 gigawatt of renewable energy over 725 square kilometres. Even visible is from space. We are expanding the green supply chain for an Atmanirbhar Bharat and creating the largest integrated renewable energy ecosystems. This includes solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen electrolyzers, green ammonia, PVC, and expansion in proper and cement projects. Over the next five years, the Adani group will invest over Rs. 2 lakhs crores in Gujarat. Thereby creating over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs, I am grateful for your support. It is my commitment that I will do my part to contribute to our Vixit Gujarat. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. We would now like to invite Mr. Jeff Ritchon, Global CEO, Simtech, South Korea. Thank you, Honourable Prime Minister, Head of State Government, Union and State Ministers, Senior Officers of Government of India, and the State Government of Gujarat for hosting Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024. It is my great honour to participate in this event and given the opportunity to interact with global and national industry leaders and other distinguished guests. As a supply chain partner for the semiconductor assembly and test industry, we, Simtech, provide the best in class semiconductor packaging IC substrates and high density interconnect printing circuit boards to our industry leading customers. We are very excited to share our own angle to the India project as a co-location investment. Following our major customer, Micron's project in the state of Gujarat. I would like to emphasize that this is not our first time supporting our key customers supply chain network with co-location investment. We have already done our project with Micron in China more than 10 years ago. We have recently executed another project in Malaysia together. Through these projects, we have proven to the market that co-location investment really boosted the growth of a semiconductor ecosystem in the region. And that it also helped our business to settle in the initial stage of the investment which would not have been possible without the support of the next-door neighbour like Micron. Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 showcases the global movement of creating a new supply chain network in a fast growing nation like India. And Sintak as a company from Korea is very proud to be part of this movement to achieve a new milestone making a prosperous Gujarat for self-reliant India supply chain. We are now preparing for another round of co-location investment in India following Micron's investment plan in Gujarat state. And I am very pleased to share the progress with the audience today that with the support from the central and state government, we are ready to make a significant investment in India and create thousands of job opportunities for high-skill talents in the state of Gujarat together with Micron. And most of all, elevating the India's PCB and IC packaging substrate industry to another level to make India's presence in the semiconductor supply chain network much stronger. We really look forward to further supporting our customers' supply chain both in India and globally. And we will further enable India's domestic players to be part of the global supply chain ecosystem. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite Shreya Chandraseekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons Limited for his address. Honourable Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modiji, Honourable Chief Minister Shree Bupendra Bhai Patelji, Governor of Gujarat, Distinguished Heads of States, Ministers, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's truly a great privilege and honour to attend and share a few thoughts on the 10th edition of Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit. The steady and spectacular progress of Gujarat consistently over such a long period of time clearly demonstrates the visionary leadership and the mindset of our Honourable Prime Minister, Narendra Modiji. Thank you, sir, for your leadership to Gujarat and to the whole country and to all of us. The impact of economic development has also resulted in tremendous social development. Gujarat clearly has established itself as the gateway to the future. For the Tata Group, Gujarat is a very special place. The Tata Group's origins started in Navsari, the birthplace of our founder, Jamsatji Tata. The Tata Group started its presence here in 1939 with Tata Chemicals. Today, 21 of our Tata Group companies have a very strong presence from Tata Power, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy, our Defence Company Advanced Systems, Hotel, Tata Steel and all our retail companies and Air India and many other companies. The group employs over 50,000 people in the state of Gujarat. Recently, we have made significant commitments to expand our presence in the state of Gujarat. Sanand is becoming home for all of our electric vehicles technology. We expanded the footprint in Sanand with additional capacity so that we can meet the growing demands of the electric vehicles. We concluded and are about to launch the building of a huge gigafactory for 20 gigawatts of lithium-ion batteries in Sanand. The project should start construction in the next couple of months. Then, we also are building the C295 Defence Aircrafts initially in Vadodara and then in Dolera and that work is going on full swing. The Tata Group has also made a commitment and is on the verge of concluding and announcing a huge semiconductor fab in Dolera. And we are able to complete this negotiations and start in 2024. In addition to that, the Tata Group is also building in partnership with the Government of India and Gujarat Government and Indian Institute of Skills Institute which will be constructed over 3.2 lakh square feet and should be fully operational and will train more than 25,000 professionals every year, primarily in advanced manufacturing, electric vehicles, advanced electronics and then hospitality. And the project's first phase will be launched in March 2024. In all, we see Gujarat as a very, very important destination not only for business growth but for the future advanced technology industries that India is looking to grow at. With all this, Gujarat is one of the most important destinations for the Tata Group and we hope to play a very important role in the future of the economic development of this state. Thank you once again Honourable Chief Minister for inviting me and thank you Prime Minister for your leadership. Thank you very much sir. We now invite Mr Sultan Ahmad Bin Sulayum, Chairman, DP World UAE for his address.

Good morning, Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Bhai Modi, Honourable Chief Minister Bhupendra Bhai Patel, Distinguished Heads of State and Leaders of Government and Captains of Industry. Ladies and gentlemen, Anibhayu Anibhenu. It's such a pleasure and honour to be part of so many giant captains of industry here as a humble Amdavadi boy who started many years ago, went to IIT Delhi, and now I have the privilege of representing NVIDIA at this summit. Generative AI is going to change the way we work, the way we do business, the way we govern, the way we live. Just like the internet starting 30 years ago and the mobile revolution starting 25 years ago, the Generative AI revolution will also do the same. Generative AI is going to affect all of you. More than five years ago, Prime Minister Narendra Bhai Modiji invited my CEO, Jensen Huang, to deliver a lecture to all of the heads of Indian governments in Devakyan Bhavan. It is the first time that a global leader actually talked about implementing of AI. Thanks to the leadership of Prime Minister Modiji, it has been a catalyst to accelerate the adoption of Generative AI in India and also here in Gujarat. Today I want to give you three specific things that NVIDIA has actioned over the last few months. Number one, skills development. We have created digital content that can be delivered online and in person to hundreds of thousands of students, developers, researchers and technical institutions. We are already rolling out this curriculum content on Generative AI to all of our business partners here in India, especially the global systems integrators. We are now most willing and keen and eager to partner with universities and technical institutions here in Gujarat and elsewhere in India to deliver this compelling content to the hundreds and thousands of developers in India. India has scale, India has talent, India has amazing data, India has a unique culture. Sovereign Generative AI requires scalable AI data center infrastructure, hardware and software in order to be successful. So secondly, I'm delighted to tell you that we are partnering with all of India's leading business groups, the Tata's Reliance Group and many others to set up state of the art AI data center facilities and provision them here in India. Specifically today, I'm very happy to inform you that our partner Yotta is setting up a state of the art AI data center here in Gift City and it will be available and go live before the end of March. Thank you sir. And thirdly, we are very strong supporters of Make in India. Make in India for India and Make in India for the world. Our partners such as NetWeb and others, Evinin, Aetos are actually already making state of the art AI hardware for consumption here in India and elsewhere in the world. And we are working strongly with partners both in the upstream semiconductor and ecosystems such as Sanjay and his company at Micron and other semiconductor ecosystem partners as well as downstream partners such as our system OEMs, our ODMs, contract manufacturers and other data center providers to establish a very strong AI electronics ecosystem in India which can service not just here in India and Gujarat but also the global economy. Thank you again sir and it's a pleasure and privilege to be here. Jai Hind, Jai Garhvi Gujarat and of course God bless America too. Thank you. Thank you very much sir. We now invite Mr. Nikhil Kamath, co-founder and CFO, Zerodha. I only have three minutes today so I won't waste too much time by talking about me or setting context. Picture a 17 year old boy, a school dropout in Bangalore from 20 years ago, not particularly smart, not too educated and no capital at hand. Bangalore from 20 years ago was a lot quieter, greener, without the vibrance that one might associate with Bangalore today. The fact that I'm able to stand here today in front of all of you, people I have idolized for so long, that opportunity to me has been incredible and that to me is the India story. I often hear people talking about what India could be 10 years from now, what needs to change or the fact that we will arrive in 10 years in five years or a certain period of time from today. I think we are standing too close to the trees and not seeing the forest because the India I am in today, that is the India that to me has already arrived. The opportunities the country threw to a 17 year old boy, again with no education, no capital or exceptionally smart. This in my view has not happened forever. The last 10 years have been incredible. And I'm not the only exception here in India. There are many other exceptions like me. We all hang out. We call this the startup ecosystem of India. The big change in India from the last decade in my opinion also has been that entrepreneurship has moved from something that we have all watched around us, heard in movies or thought could happen, something that we aspire to, to entrepreneurship today, which is something that we all are actively trying. You could take an example of this being a housewife watching Shark Tank, a small time shoe salesman selling online on Flipkart. These are not stories that existed 10 years ago. To that one man in the audience here today who in my opinion has facilitated this stable ecosystem for people like me to thrive and millions of other who we call the youth of India to thrive. I would like to say thank you for having created this ecosystem for all of us. Growing up, I used to talk to people that one relative in my family who went abroad studied and did very well, travelling to the west seem to be the best thing that could happen to anybody. Today when I talk to Indians in the west who have done very well, the only thing I hear from them, it's a very young word, I call it FOMO, the fear of missing out. They're talking about India as a story that they fear missing out today. That change which has happened in the last 10 years is so evident to see that it makes me feel proud. It makes me feel like I'm in the right place at the right time and that place today is India. I often ask people if their life was a book, what would they call the current chapter? It's a good question for all of us to ask ourselves. When I look at India and I ask myself, what would be this chapter in the book of India? The first word that came up in my mind was arrived. And finally, as I stand here in a room full of politicians, diplomats, dignitaries, mentors, I don't look upon this ecosystem as potential... The way I'm looking at this today is we're all potential partners in a story that could change the global economic landscape today and that story is India. And to all the foreign investors here, India is seemingly looking like the coolest party in town. I think what you need to be aware of is if you arrive too late, you might not get in. So I'd like to thank everybody. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you everyone. Thank you very much, sir. Today we have with us dignitaries from a number of countries. We would like to invite them to share their thoughts with us today. We would like to invite his Excellency, Mr. Shin Hosaka, Vice Minister for International Affairs, Japan. Namaskar. Good morning. Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Phantara Patal, distinguished guests, all the delegates in attendance. My name is Shin Hosaka, Vice Minister for International Affairs of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. First of all, on behalf of the Japanese government, I'd like to express our gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for the letter to our Prime Minister Kishida expressing his condolences regarding the dirty earthquake January 1st in the North region in Japan. Thank you very much. Well, thank you for graciously inviting me to Bible and Gujarat 2024. It's a great honor to have a speech in this Sunday event. With the world facing multiple crises that include natural disasters, climate change and geopolitical tensions from international cooperation for addressing challenges on the global scale is taking on greater importance. I wish to express my admiration for the formidable leadership of Prime Minister Modi who, despite such difficult circumstances, has successfully upheld India's great responsibility of the G20 presidency and continues to tackle the promotion of economic cooperation among the global south nations and the resolution of other challenges on the worldwide scale. India and Japan are special strategy global partners, bound by the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law that we have shared over our long history of exchange. Being that we are at such a global turning point, I firmly feel that more than ever, the strengthening of relations between India and Japan in the economic sector is imperative for the sake of carving out a sustainable peaceful future. Up to this point, Japanese corporations have continued to invest in the nation over India with a cumulative amount of investment between 2000 and 2023, reaching 38.3 billion dollars. This amount is second in the world when tax havens are excluded. The number of Japanese corporations that have entered into the Indian market and the number of their bases of operations they have respectively reached 1400 and 4800. Over time, these corporations have kept on contributing to the further development of India's manufacturing sector, particularly the automotive field. In the state of Gujarat, a manufacturing industry ecosystem centered on the four and two wheeled vehicle sectors have been intensively built there. In order to further accelerate the making India initiative, Japan will further tackle the improvement of the investment environments through support for Japanese industrial parks. Gujarat currently hosts six Japanese-style manufacturing schools where we develop human resources to work on the manufacturing front lines. We intend to continue lending our cooperation in this field going forward. Initiatives by Japanese corporations are also extremely active. To give an example, Suzuki has already produced 750,000 vehicles at its Gujarat-based factory that it sells all over the world, not just in India. Moreover, the company has also adopted a plan to export electricity vehicles produced in Gujarat to Japan and Europe in 2025 and beyond. I feel deep gratitude towards the Indian Graduate Government for their cooperation for so long. Last July, we announced the Japan-India Industrial Creation Initiative in order to go beyond cooperation in the automotive industry and other existing industry domains to create industries. In the name of the further developing relations between our respective nations as we move forward. In the semiconductor, hydrogen green and digital domains in particular, METE is carrying out preparation to proactively assist with business development in India. For cooperation surrounding semiconductors, in July 2023, we executed the Japan-India semiconductor supply chain partnership and launched a policy dial. Last November, we promptly held our first meeting of that partnership, which had over 100 individuals representing Japanese semiconductor-related enterprise attendance. This time, as well, we carefully selected some semiconductor corporations with considerable potential to contribute to India and ask them to accompany us here. We hope to go beyond contribution to the establishment of semiconductor ecosystem in India in the form of developing semiconductor manufacturing environment, improving the logistics environment, and developing semiconductor human capital. For the hydrogen domains as well, we are providing support for attracting Japanese cooperation to India and lowering the initial risk associated with the start of operations in order to accelerate cooperation with the nation. In fact, world-leading equipment such as water electricity systems and ammonia mixed combustion burners is in the process of being introduced in India. In addition, METE will enact budgetary measures of 200 million US dollars for the purpose of accelerating economic cooperation with India. Our hope is to develop concrete projects through these funds towards the future. The concept of Vibrant Godzilla 2024 is gateway to the future. Let Japan, with its accumulation of technology and India, whose growth is just beginning, join hands in driving forward the international society and carving out the future of the world. I will close my speech with the pledge of cooperation as a representative of Japan, India's best friend. Thank you for being such an attentive audience. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite His Excellency, Mr. Ibrahim Yosef Al Mubarak, Assistant Minister of Investment, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for his address.  Namaste. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite Lord Tariq Ahmed, Minister of State, Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, United Nations and the Commonwealth, UK, for his address. Prime Minister Modi Ji, you defined the living bridge between our United Kingdom and India. Prime Minister Modi Ji, you defined the living bridge between our United Kingdom and India. And therefore, it is appropriate that I also extend the greetings of my Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, indeed the son-in-law of Bharat, the son-in-law of India. And on this occasion of the 10th Vibrant Gujarat, it's my honour to represent the British government on this suspicious occasion. This summit has truly, in every sense, served as a masterclass on how to go about attracting global investors, to have a stake in that remarkable growth, which as we've seen captains of industry line up and say is truly remarkable. Our nations may be separated by thousands of miles geographically, but that vast distance can diminish with the warmth between our people, that living bridge. And there is so much in common between our two nations. I'm going to park the whole theory of cricket for a moment, but that is an important bridge between our two nations. I'm going to park the whole theory of cricket for a moment, but that is an important bridge. And to those nations represented here who don't quite understand cricket, I assure you we the UK and India stand together in helping you understand this great game. But India's leadership and in congratulating the Prime Minister, and indeed the whole government of India on G20 last year, was a true testament to its determination. And I'm grateful to my friend, the Minister for External Affairs, Jaishankarji, for your leadership during that occasion along with Prime Minister Modiji as well. And I'm really confident, Prime Minister, that this living bridge of people and ideas and innovation will truly make our partnership a potent combination for the years ahead. And I just want to reflect briefly on the why this is. India is the second largest investor in the United Kingdom.  Indian FDI in the UK is growing faster than any other country. And for our part, the United Kingdom has a unique mix of world-class expertise and indeed talent. Total trade in goods between our two nations stands at over 38 billion pounds. That's close to 50 billion dollars. And that's increased in the last year alone by 24%. And that demonstrates the real strength between the two nations. The United Kingdom is the most globally connected economy in the G20, ranked second globally for soft power. And the first in the G7 for international research collaboration and impact. And I know those are important sectors right here in Gujarat and for India as well. And we've heard already a great deal about green finance. London is also number one globally for green finance. And that's why we are truly ambitious. We are excited by the potential of our partnership with India and in particular with the state of Gujarat. And the United Kingdom is collaborating on many exciting projects in how we develop our relationship with Gujarat as we move forward. Take for example the Statue of Unity designed by UK architects, Arab, which now stands tall as a symbol of a new confident India. Or the JCB factory designed by Mark McDonald, whose machinery is now powering India's incredible infrastructure development. But Prime Minister, Chief Minister, we want to go further. We want to do more. And of course we understand the power of education. And we're proud of the strong association between India and the United Kingdom when it comes to our education sectors as well. When you power someone, an individual, no matter where in the world, through education, you empower them, their families, their communities, indeed their nations. And I know Prime Minister Mordiji, what a priority this is for you. And it is also live right now. We have just signed an MOU to enable closer collaboration between our higher education institutions. We want to go further in the areas of the creative economy, nurturing artists and boosting cultural exchange. Be in no doubt, business links will continue to grow, creating jobs and prosperity, whether it's from here in Ahmedabad to Aberdeen in Scotland in the United Kingdom. Our old friendship is blossoming into a new partnership. India and Britain are a very deep friendship. It is a true friendship, a lasting friendship, a deep friendship and a binding friendship and partnership for today and the future. On behalf of you, Chief Minister Sahib, we thank you very much for this opportunity. Thank you so much. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite His Excellency Mr. Wahan Karobian, Minister of Economy, Armenia. Honourable Excellency Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat Buendrapa Ipatel, Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the vibrant Gujarat Tenth Global Summit. As Minister of Economy of Armenia, I'm delighted to share the remarkable strides of our nation's has made, especially in the realm of technology, trade and investment. Our economy has doubled in three-year time and economic boom has not only reshaped our domestic landscape, but also positioned Armenia as the most advanced economy within the Caucasus and Eurasian Economic Union. In the bargaining tech sector, dynamic trade environment and attractive investment opportunities in Armenia have drawn global attention. Our commitment to continuously improving a business-friendly environment is evident in our progressive policies, which have been instrumental in catalyzing growth and innovation. For example, with our good friends from United Arab Emirates, we managed to increase our mutual trade by 10 times to $2 billion in just two-three years, building firm trade bridges between different fragments of the world economy. A pivotal aspect of our economic narrative is the increasing movement of trade and investments between India and Armenia. This bilateral investment flow is a testament to the deepening economic ties between our nations. It's heartening to see Armenian investments finding a fertile ground in India, and likewise, Indian investments flourishing in Armenia. We see investments in high-tech manufacturing, metallurgy, mining, jewelry and diamond cutting, and other sectors. Armenia may also contribute to semiconductor efforts of Gujarat and India, especially in R&D services. We have home R&D centers for several semiconductor companies such as Cisco, Microchip Technology, AMD, Siemens, NVIDIA, Synopsis and others. Given this promising potential, it's crucial for both the Armenian and Indian governments to further encourage and develop this mutual trade, logistics and investments opportunities. By doing so, we can unlock new avenues of collaboration, foster innovation and pave the way for a prosperous future. Armenia's strategic position within the Eurasian Economic Union opens up additional prospects. Leveraging this position can benefit businesses looking to tap into the expansive Eurasian market, facilitating industrial development, trade, logistics and joint ventures. Honourable Prime Minister. Recently, Prime Minister of Armenia announced crossroads of peace project that is aimed to strengthen logistics and economic connectivity across the region. As we convene at this summit, I offer you to explore the logistics opportunities to connect India and Europe via Iran's Chabahar, Armenia and Georgia. This multi-model transport route, which is under development now, may become a competitive linkage between Europe or Eurasia and India. For centuries, Armenian traders were actively engaged in trade between India and Europe. Let's strengthen our ties again, embark on new ventures and march towards a future marked by shared success and mutual growth. Thank you for the honour of presenting Armenia at this prestigious summit. Together, let's build a framework for sustained cooperation and mutual investments that benefits both our great nations and the region as a whole. Let's build the gateway to the future. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite His Excellency, Mr. Teeth Risalo, Minister of Economic Affairs and Information Technology, Estonia. Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. Namaste or terehomikust, as they say in Estonia. I believe India is a spiritual country where people believe still in miracles. And let me present to you one straight away. It's me standing here representing the Republic of Estonia, free and independent country with a population of 1.4 million. Archeology tells us that Estonians have been living in the same place for 5,000 years. But from the written history of 1,000-plus years, we have been independent only 50. Despite that, we have maintained a unique culture and a full-blown language and a full-blown culture. We regained our independence only 30 years ago. We started from zero. We had devastated economy, zero capital and no major natural resources. For now, we are widely recognized as first and one of the most advanced digital societies. Estonia is a global leader in harassing the power of technology for its citizens. But the truth is, miracles just don't happen. You have to work hard to arouse them. And that's why we are here. To work together with nations and regions who share the same values. That's the rule of law market economy drive forward. India certainly has instrumental role to play. But those values prevail globally. You have proved it repeatedly, most recently with the excellent execution of the G20 presidency. Thank you again, Prime Minister Modi for the leadership. Estonia is ready to work with you and offer our best knowledge on digital public goods. On e-governance, cyber security, green tech, educational technology and personal medicine. And we know, India grows when the states grow. So we are happy to work on all this with Gujarat, because Gujarat means growth. And then, if we work hard, we know the reward. In the end, the truth alone trumps. Thank you. Hope for a good cooperation. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite His Excellency, Mr. Riyad Mazor, Honorable Minister of Industry and Commerce, Murokko, for his address. Honorable Sri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of Bharat. Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Sri Bhavendra Patel. Honorable Head of States, Chief of Governments, Ministers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's my honor and distinct privilege to address this esteemed assembly at the 10th Firebrand Gujarat Global Summit, representing the Kingdom of Murokko. I am deeply grateful for your gracious invitation extended by the Government of Bharat. This marks a significant milestone as Murokko proudly participated as a partner country for the second time in this globally acclaimed summit. This summit, an initiative that we owe you, Prime Minister Modi, that we owe to your leadership, stands as a beacon of opportunity, not only in fostering business projects, but also in fortifying the enduring bounds of cooperation and friendship that so splendidly unites Murokko and Bharat. The historical visit of our beloved King Mohammed VI to Bharat in 2015 and his meeting with you, Honorable Prime Minister Modi, marked a new era in the cooperation between my country and Bharat, raising the level of bilateral relation to a strategic partnership. Even our beloved King at that time expressed his admiration for the Indian model, which has succeeded in emerging as one of the largest world economy. Let me comment on what has been said beforehand. Prime Minister Modi, you made Gujarat as an engine of growth for Bharat, but you made Bharat as tea engine of growth of the world. Murokko, for its part, has also evolved positively, showing a regional leadership in advanced sector, such as automotive, aerospace, semiconductor and fertilizer industry, coupled with the significant transformation of historical sectors such as textile and agri-food. All sectors have been performing remarkably well despite successive crisis, which confirmed the undeniable success of the industry policy of Murokko, Gujarat and Bharat. Since then, our two governments have worked tirelessly to achieve the objective set. Today, there are almost 50 agreements and MOUs signed in various sectors. Today, there are also 45 Indian companies established in Murokko while there were only 13 in 2015. Today, our exchanges have tripled from $1.4 billion to $4.2 billion. Today, Gujarat, India, has hosted the most important Moroccan investments in Asia. This is a testimony of the great momentum that had been injected into Moroccan-Indian bilateral relations, and I'm confident this will continue to grow. As both of our nations share a commitment to economic growth, sustainable development and mutual prosperity. Ladies and gentlemen, under the guidance of our beloved King, Murokko has embarked on a transformative journey, guided by a strategic development roadmap that has steered the nation towards openness and remarkable progress. In the face of supply shocks and succession of global crisis, Murokko resilience has been extraordinary, showcasing its agility to navigate through multifaceted challenges with innovative solutions. Indeed, our country GDP has tripled in the last 20 years, and we multiplied our manufacturing export by 6 since 2000. Today, 87% of our exports are manufactured products. Today, Murokko is the first manufacturer of cars in Africa and one of the most competitive countries worldwide in producing cars and renewable energy. Well, the best and the most competitive country in producing cars is still Barat. Moreover, thanks to our ideal position as a continental and world-class hub, its free trade agreements giving access to more than 100 countries and 2.3 billion consumers, and its political and monetary stability, Murokko offers great opportunities for investors to settle. Ladies and gentlemen, given the commitment of my country in accordance with the high rural vision to the promotion of an active, solid and supportive cooperation in a spirit of co-development and shared growth, Murokko and Barat can work closely through a South-South triangular cooperation to promote growth in Africa, India and in the world. Indeed, our strategic partnership should also enable our countries to develop joint initiatives that include the entire African continent in the process of industrializing and developing economies, but also to ensure food and health security. Ladies and gentlemen, the time is ripe for Murokko and Barat to forge a stronger, more dynamic partnership. By leveraging our respective strength and addressing the challenges together, we can create a future market by shared prosperity, innovation and growth. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, sir. We would now like to welcome his Excellency, Mr. Prakash Sharanmahad, Finance Minister of Nepal. Right Honourable Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modiji, Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Sri Bhupendravai Patelji, Distinguished Participants, Ladies and Gentlemen, Warm Greetings from Nepal. Namaskar, Namaste. At the outset, let me express my sincere gratitude to Honourable Bhupendravai Patelji, Chief Minister of Gujarat, for inviting me in this August gathering. I am deeply honoured and privileged to be part of this vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024. This Global Forum for Business Networking, Knowledge Sharing and Strategic Partnership for fostering sustainable and inclusive growth has now been a forum for all. Modiji has envisioned vibrant Gujarat concept in 2003. Under your visionary leadership, this idea of entrepreneurial spirit of Gujarat has now been translated into vibrant India. India is now a major global economic power. I also like to commend Modiji for your transformative leadership during G20 presidency, which has brought this mechanism to a next level. That is, you have made this more inclusive and broader. Vibrant Gujarat Development Model, which you are translating nationwide, has been a source of inspiration for many countries, including Nepal. It is now managing financial resources and technological know-how for addressing economic, social and environmental challenges of our time. Nepal and India, actually, Bharat, since thousands of years, have common pleasures of great Hindu and Buddhist religious worships, and we are visiting each other's pleasures since ancient times. I am happy to inform you that visitors from Gujarat are one of the largest in Nepal. I still have fresh memory of Modiji's statement delivered in our parliament in 2014, particularly your impasses and hit that is highways, informationways and transmissionways. I am happy to share that we are working together in all these areas to improve connectivity, strengthen market linkages and to reduce transaction costs. Recently, Nepal and India have signed a long-term power purchase agreement of exporting 10,000 megawatt of electricity to India over 10 years of time. This will immensely open up investment opportunity in hydropower in Nepal. It will also contribute to achieve green energy transition target, not only for Nepal, but also in India. Situated between two global economic powers, Nepal has adapted liberal market-oriented economic policy since the early 90s and is a member of several international organizations and multilateral agencies. And we are implementing trade and investment policies and regulation of international standards. Nepal provides investor-friendly regulatory and legal framework with macroeconomic stability and rule-based democratic political system. Our legal system prohibits nationalization of private enterprises and properties. We guarantee national and non-discriminatory treatment to foreign investment. Those who have invested in Nepal are enjoying good returns on their investment. The abundant natural and educated human resources together with potential domestic and export market ensures attractive return for prospective investors. There are huge on-tapped investment opportunities in Nepal in energy, tourism, agribusiness and ICT. There are also other potential areas of investment such as health, education, manufacturing, construction, transportation, mining, banking and financial services. Nepal is organizing investment summit in April 28 and 29 this year in Kathmandu. I would like to use this occasion to cordially invite all captains of industries and entrepreneurs from India and other participating countries for a valuable involvement in this summit. I hope your innovative business ideas and investment decision will be a milestone for unlocking growth potential of Nepal. Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the state government of Gujarat for providing me this opportunity to witness remarkable confluence of minds and energies in vibrant Gujarat global summit. I wish for the grand success of this summit. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, sir. We now invite His Excellency Mr. Tran Lu Quong, Deputy Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to deliver his address. Ladies and gentlemen, today I am very happy to attend the global summit. Gujarat is the 10th largest summit in the world, with the theme of the future. Gujarat is the hometown of the great leader Mahatma Gandhi of the country and the people of India, Anem, the hometown of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. With the largest summit and the participation of the leaders and entrepreneurs of India and other countries, Gujarat has clearly changed the view of Prime Minister Modi and the efforts of Gujarat, making it very attractive as well as the national and international status of India. We are living in a world of complex and difficult changes. Although there are many challenges, peace, cooperation and development is still a big challenge. We have made a high price for this summit to focus on new development initiatives, including the green economy, the Chinese economy, the digital economy, and the city of Thong Minh. This is also one of the first areas of development and international participation in Vietnam. To strengthen the above-mentioned areas of development and development goals, we believe that governments need to create a policy, legal, and investment market for the common people, to ensure a fair, fair, and open up strategic strategies in one way or the other. From the start of the government, we need to move forward, and to strengthen and strengthen the resources of the private sector and the foreign capital. In international cooperation, we need to give these areas of cooperation the main purpose and the first to make more efforts to make it more realistic. Development countries need to increase support. Development countries are developing on the four major industries, technology, modern management, and artificial resources. The rapid and active development economy has the fifth largest climate crisis in the world, where India is fully capable and is getting better at making progress in this process. Ladies and gentlemen, over time, the traditional and strategic relations between Vietnam and India have not stopped developing in the areas. Vietnam is grateful for the support and appreciation of India's effective support in the development of industrial science, energy change, and digital change. Over time, we hope to strengthen the cooperation with India in common with the United Arab Emirates, especially in the areas that have the strength of India and are compatible with the development of Vietnam. Among them, many areas will be changed at this time of the year. La Bank is a firm and active partner in the international community. Vietnam is always proud and willing to create the most common life in India's capital industries, long-term economy in Vietnam. We believe that the good cooperation between Vietnam and India does not only bring little benefit to the industry and the people of the two countries, but also a positive impact on peace, cooperation, and development of the environment in the region and all over the world. I wish you a happy and healthy day. I wish you a happy and healthy day. Thank you very much, sir. We're now honored to invite his Excellency, Mr. Petra Fiala, Honorable Prime Minister, Czech Republic, for his address. Honorable Prime Minister Modi, Chief Minister Patel, President's Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, first, please let me congratulate you on 20 years of this successful summit. I'm excited to see Gujarat's impressive economic growth and to feel the energy of the largest democracy in the world. Thank you, Chief Minister Patel, for your kind hospitality. It is real pleasure to be here. Ladies and gentlemen, the topic of this summit is Gateway to the Future. It is a big inspiration. We are at a special point and can choose our future. It is a time of dramatic risks, but also of great chances because the problems of today are very complex. It is not wise to concentrate on only one strategy. I think the humanity needs to work with three main priorities, three keys to unlock the gateway, the key is innovation and new technologies. The second key is advanced industry and the third key is applied research which benefits the public, like in health and medicine, education and partnership between universities, research institution and private sector. Maybe you know some innovative check brands, for example the software security company Avast or the online ticketing global player Kiwi. My government is mainly interested in long-term strategic investment. This includes AI research, electromobility and especially semiconductors. They are key for high-tech industries today, from cars to mobile phones. We also pay close attention to innovation in the energy sector. Unlike many European countries, we believe in the future of nuclear power. We have 50 years of expertise in nuclear power, our top interest in development of small modular reactors. On this way we want to work with leading global makers. It is also a chance to improve our check Indian capacities in nuclear energy research. We are very serious about innovation in renewable energy and green digital technologies. The goal is to have reliable, efficient and sustainable energy. This is about green environment and the potential for check Indian collaboration is great. Not only in energy but also in wastewater treatment or in sustainable agriculture. The second key to our future is advanced industry. My country is a great exporter of high-quality industrial goods. I am sure that you know some of the traditional check brands, Bata, Shkoda, Tatra, Oriava, Java are well established in India. Our companies are leaders in land transport. Shkoda auto-produces cars here and has a new logistic centre in Pune. It can be active and make India a mobility hub of tomorrow. We also have great railway cars makers. Check companies build wheel sets here in India. And we offer solutions for cities, trams, hydrogen buses or smart transport systems. We have many advanced companies in space products and their quality. The third key is applied research in fields like healthcare and medicine. There are many major issues in public health. Lifestyle diseases, sustainability of public health systems and the new health dangers. COVID-19 is a typical example. It shows us the benefits of international cooperation, sharing results and experience and fighting the virus faster than ever before. It also shows us the need to be prepared for other new dangers. In health and medical science, fast innovation can bring big benefits to people. Its importance will only increase. There are many bad demographic and lifestyle trends in the world today. And health and medical research is also a very important driver of future economic growth. I am very pleased that Czech Republic and Indian universities co-operate such areas of top Czech and Indian experts. Ladies and gentlemen, I briefly presented three areas. Three keys which can unlock the gate to our future. With them, we have a chance for a sustainable future. It offers a better life for humanity. All of them are connected to science, technology and innovation. This is intentional. I believe that knowledge is the most important factor for growth, well-being and happiness. I am very happy that the partnership between India and the Czech Republic is based on this vision. We show this today together with Prime Minister Modi by endorsing our strategic partnership on innovation. The partnership covers many areas including science, new technologies, energy, healthcare or infrastructure. There is great potential in this joint statement. India and Czechia understand the role of innovation in solving the challenges of today. Our countries believe that the economy of the future will depend on deep cooperation. This gives me great hope that our partnership will bring concrete results for our peoples. Ladies and gentlemen, the future can bring many new problems, but we already know how to be prepared by focusing on skills and innovations and by working with trusted partners. I wish you a successful discussion and thank you. Thank you very much, sir, for your words of appreciation and encouragement. We now feel proud in inviting His Excellency, Mr. Philip Newsy, Honorable President Mozambique, to deliver his address. His Excellency Bupendra Patel, Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat. Your ministers present this week, ladies and gentlemen, I begin my intervention by greeting and thanking Your Excellency and my brother Narendra Demordadas Modi, Prime Minister of India, for the invitation that was given to us in the quality of the past to participate in this event of great relevance for our countries. I take this opportunity to congratulate Your Excellency on June 20, the historical moment that the African continent, or the African Union, has achieved, as a permanent member of June 20. We greet Your Excellency Bupendra Patel, Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat, to the people and government of Gujarat for the accolement that has been given to us since our arrival to this historic industrial city, the largest oil refinery center in the world and diamond polishing cut. Mr. Prime Minister, silence. In Ramadabad, I feel my own home, because it was here that I acquired knowledge that has helped me add to what I had previously achieved and with the spirit of always learning, it allows me to give my humble contribution to the development of my country, Mozambique. I am Pramad Mara Gujarat, from Jouacion. My name is Jou. I am from Namastei. The Republic of Mozambique participates in this singular forum of Gujarat with the aim of learning and sharing the experience at the level of the state, entrepreneurial, civil society and the academy as it is structured in the event. It is our interest to identify opportunities, to establish partnerships collectively and with the basis of mutual advantages, to create resources for a harmonious development, to create wealth and well-being for our people. The Republic of India and the State of Gujarat, in particular, offers to many countries, to many countries in development, the opportunity to share the experience of resilience and of overcoming obstacles to development. The fact of this environmental summit, instituted more than 20 years ago, to assume itself as a starting point for the self-sufficiency of a region, the global summit of Gujarat also has the particularity of encouraging the countries and states to make a presentation about the opportunities of business and investments offered. Our interest is to learn from the experience of Gujarat and still believe in the production and internal transformation of resources to our sport, aimed at self-sufficiency and export. On the other hand, the thematic moments scheduled in this edition of the global summit of Gujarat are aimed at strengthening Mozambique in a country with economic powers still to be explored. As we see, there are arable lands and abundant rivers, conditions suitable for the practice of industrial agriculture, fishing and fishing, huge reserves for the development of the extractive industry and the transformers. The country still has large reserves of heavy areas in addition to other mines of high commercial value, such as diamonds, precious stones, copper, iron, graphite. By the way, talking about graphite, the CEO of SUSUKI talked about the production of materials. I immediately invite him to produce Mozambique because graphite is in abundance. But also Mozambique has a mineral coal and we are already exporting it to this country in large quantities, 500 megawatts. We hope that there may be interest in participating with us still. This also includes one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, in Rovuma Basin. By the way, I can say that three major companies in this country are partners in the exploration of gas to Mozambique. Mozambique also offers opportunities for the development of all types of tourism, including ecotourism. Our country, for being banned from the Mozambique channel, Mozambique is the strategic commercial route of many countries, including the countries of the interlending of Australia, which the access to the sea is through Mozambique. The CEO of NIPI World, who may be a witness to the fact that they are already operating in the Mozambican ports. Therefore, investing in Mozambique is also a benefit of the economic opportunities that the sub-region of Australia of the countries of the Sadec offers with a market of more than 250 million inhabitants. The legislation on investment in Mozambique offers a package of incentives to investors who decide to support the country for the production of goods and services that create jobs opportunities for young people, Mozambique and conquer them for the growth of value, industrialization and modernization of the economy. In this context, to strengthen international cooperation through the creation of productive partnerships leading to a rapid acceleration of global economic growth and improving the living conditions of our populations, I invite women, men from Indian businesses and from all over the world here present to invest in Mozambique at a multidimensional basis. The Mozambique government will do everything in order to secure an economic partnership in which we all know how to win and together we contribute to a prosperous world for us and for future generations. I finish by saying that the collective goal was to strengthen solidarity and sustainability in which we respect and preserve the planet Earth, our common home. We make the votes that this week have brought viable businesses in benefit of our countries and people. We all want better adventures and a lot of success in the creation of progress and well-being common. Thank you very much, Prime Minister Modi. Excellency Prime Minister Modi. Chief Minister Patel. Excellency President Mozambique, Felipe Jacinta Newsy, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. Ladies and gentlemen, it is always a real pleasure to set foot on this land of a great ancient civilization. I first visited India on a personal capacity in April 1992, having spent more than a week in Dharamsala. My first official visit was in 2003, a senior minister for affairs of the newly independent in more or less. I visited again India in 2013, 2014, 2015 in different capacities. In my previous position as senior minister for affairs, I wholeheartedly supported India's meritful right to be a permanent member of the UN Security Council. And I'm continuing to advocate for India and for Indonesia to Asian countries to be permanent members of a reform expanded more representative UN Security Council. As chair of in 2014-15 of the High-Level Independent Panel on UN Peace Operations, I visited Delhi for extensive consultation with leaders, including senior military officers. I work closely with the Department of Mission of India to the UN in New York. As we produce a 100-page report and recommendation on how the UN should anticipate, respond more timely and effectively to the new emerging security challenges. This is my relationship with India. My sincere appreciation for the invitation to address this prestigious International Forum. My gratitude to a great visionary, transformative leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who conceived the 10th members of my delegation. This forum, now renowned globally, has been a catalyst for business networking, knowledge-sharing, strategic partnerships, inclusive growth and sustainable development. The state of Gujarat, driven by an inherent entrepreneurial spirit, has emerged as an industrial leader and a favorite destination for investment. Timor-Lester, for its part, represents an oasis of peace, tolerance and stability, where fundamental rights and freedoms rates Timor-Lester number 10 globally in media freedom out of 193 countries. Timor-Lester stands out with a business environment conducive to investments, having consummability of Portuguese-speaking countries, St-Pelpe, a pioneer founder of the G7 Plus fragile states, leader and spokesperson in climate change within LDCs and seeds. We are progressing our membership process with WTO, which should happen probably in February, hoping to formally exceed by March this year. Formal asset. We are committed to creating a favorable business, BOTs and any other mutually beneficial modality consistent with the priorities internationally, with more than 1,000 portfolios, with annual returns of over 8%. We have zero debt to commercial banks. Our debt to regional or multilateral lending institutions is 13% of our GDP. Our young and vibrant diaspora present in countries such as Australia, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Portugal, the United Kingdom contribute significantly to the development of both host countries and Timor-Lester, with foreign remittances being an important part of our society's well-being. We invite you, ladies and gentlemen, to invest with us. Be part of the realization of a dream. Opportunities abound. I outline some. In the tourism sector, almost the entire northern coast of Timor-Lester, plus Atauru and Jaco Islands, team with the richest biodiversity in the world. That's according to conservation international, not according to me personally, boasting the healthiest coral biodiversity in the entire region, known as the Amazon of disease. Atauru Island located north of Timor-Lester's capital is recognized as a most important part of the global center of marine biodiversity and a global priority for conservation. We integrate a region that covers 1.6% of the planet's ocean area, boasting with marine life home to 76% of all known coral species in the world and habitat of more than 3,000 species of fish. We are seeking investment and partnership in hotels, resorts, home stays, conventional centers, restaurants, services, customer support, wellness, and hospitals. In the oil, gas, mineral renewables. Minerals and renewables. We have advanced resources, oil and national gas reserves, onshore and offshore, including our exclusive economic zone, where the greater sunrise gas field stands out. Whose consortium led by Woodside is expected to bring this important wealth onshore very soon. In the coming years, Timor-Lester will invest in the construction of a modern gas pipeline and petrochemical industry as part of our major Tasimane project. These major national investments include, among others, the construction of a refinery, the adaptation of our power station to national gas, and the development of a multifunctional supply base for all the related needs. We also have large reserves of other minerals. Huge marble structures, limestone, as you know, a key resource for the development of cement industries and other construction products, capable of feeding the domestic market and supplying growing foreign demand. Green economy and renewable energies committed to sustainable development. We seek to invest in renewable energy as prudent incremental transition to renewable energies. We are looking forward to working with the UAE, led by a visionary leader, our friend, President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Dayan, with whom we share many commonalities. This is in line with commitments made at the recent COP28 summit held in Dubai. I take the opportunity to congratulate His Royal Highness, the President of UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Dayan for the success of the UAE chairmanship of the 28th conference of the parties to UNFCCC. We have a great potential for developing solar and wind energy production fields. And some projects are underway with the support of the Asia Development Bank, namely in the municipality of Manitou to where an initial investment of U.S. $120 million is expected to produce in the next 25 years. Overall, return above U.S. $300 million. We seek to develop hydroelectrics with the construction of dams and many hydroelectric plants that can take advantage of the mountainous terrain and rainy season, guaranteeing access to clean energy and reserve water for irrigation and urban supply. Infrastructure and transport. In the last 15 years, we have seen dramatic improvements in our infrastructure sector. National roads, electricity, now covering 96.1% of the country. One state-of-the-art port, the Port of Tiber Bay, operating since 2022 with an total investment of $280 million. This was a first public-private partnership celebrated between Timor-Lester with the French Bolleray Group and the World Bank. One of the best projects in this sector, it is capable of transforming this port into a hub for connected people and groups at regional level. We are also starting the first phase of the expansion of Dilly International Airport with an initial investment of $97.7 million partially funded by the ADB, IFC, and the Government of Australia and Japan. This includes expanding the runway, building a modern terminal. This links up to a wider program facilitating air services with other national and regional airports combined with aircraft maintenance network capable of transforming Timor-Lester into a hub for air connectivity and the services. In connectivity, we are looking forward to the arrival onshore in Dilly in 2024 in nine months from now of a submarine cable from Port Hedlund, Australia, a project funded by the Australian Government. Health, the development of the national health system with improvement and modernization of our primary, secondary, tertiary health care network, and with investments planned in tourism infrastructure in different economic activities responding to the needs of our national and foreign customers. We are looking at building new modern well-equipped hospitals. In 2002, we had 20 medical doctors for roughly 900,000 people. In 2024, we have over 1,200 medical doctors for 1,400,000 people. Our ASEAN roadmap accession anticipates the construction of suitable infrastructure to host international summits such as airports, communications facilities, five-star hotels, conventional centers, modern health, and hospital services. Agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Timor-Lester has great potential for agricultural development. Traditional crops such as rice, coffee, maize, cassava, cocoa, vanilla. We have one of the best, I would say, the best coffees in the world. I apologize to any coffee-producing country here, but I think we are rated the best in the world. And the Prime Minister, I suggest Indians should drink more coffee. That would help selling our coffee. We plan to develop projects that can respond to the needs of domestic consumers and hence food security and self-sufficiency in order to reduce excessive dependence on imported food. We will invest more in the production, processing, distribution, and export of meat, fish, and seafood, milk, and dairy products with added value that may contribute to reducing malnutrition and poverty. Investments can also be in the reforestation of areas at risk of national disasters, planting traditional species such as sandalwood, or those with great commercial potential such as mahogany. Inspired by India, we seek technologically sustainable growth, promoting innovation and digital economy. India has highly trained and specialized human resources in the new technology sector taking advantage of the different telecommunications infrastructures. You have also been successful in developing highly profitable digital economy projects that benefit the entire production value chain. You have linked producer, distributor, retailers, and consumers on one hand and promoting increasingly innovative, creative, competitive products through digital platforms and social online networks on the other. Prime Minister, dear friend, we eagerly anticipate the inauguration of the Embassy of the Democratic Party more or less in Delhi. Soon, this year, simultaneously, we await with great anticipation the opening of the Embassy of India in Delhi, thereby solidifying the visionary concept put forth by your excellency, Prime Minister Modi, a call to forge a Delhi-Dili axis of progress and development. The problem with Delhi and Delhi is sometimes people book intent to come to Delhi. Instead, they end up in Delhi, and it happened many times. This axis of progress is set to be still upon the robust foundations laid by our shared bilateral and multilateral cooperation. It promises to be a testament to an enduring friendship equating the dedicated service of Indian diplomats such as ambassadors Kamala Sharma, a tool car to dear friends who serve in our country as special representatives of the UN Secretary General in the more or less term. Our gratitude extends to the 7,737 peacekeepers, military and police, who played critical role over a decade of the United Nations mission in the more or less. India, a contributor, active contributor to UNTAED, UNICEF, UNOTIL, UNMIT played critical role in fostering stability and security in the more or less. India's commitment to assist in the more or less developing essential human resources diplomats and the leadership officer as part of its process to ASEAN, its accession to ASEAN is highly commendable and we are very grateful to you, Prime Minister. Notably, 12 diplomats have recently undergone training at the Shusma Swarajah Institute of Foreign Service, a demonstration of fulfillment of this commitment. We hope to expand this partnership in coming years. May this summit thrive as a catalyst for fostering fruitful partnership for global sustainable development and shared prosperity. I thank you and God bless we all. Thank you. We are privileged to have heard the Nobel Laureate, His Excellency, Mr. Jose Ramzota. Thank you so much, sir, for your enriching address.
