In Munich, Modi shares growth story, says India impatient to fulfil dreams

In his address to the Indian diaspora in Munich, Germany, on Sunday, PM Narendra Modi underscored the country's achievements in a short span of time and said India is impatient to fulfil its dreams.

"India is now ready and impatient. India is impatient for progress, for development. India is also impatient for the fulfilment of its dreams," he said.

Modi arrived in Munich on Sunday to attend the G7 summit where he will hold meetings with G7 and partner countries and will hold discussions on several issues, including environment, energy and counter-terrorism.

The PM interacted with the Indian community at Audi Dome, Munich.

"The way crores of Indians have achieved big goals together is unprecedented. Today, every village in India is open defecation-free," he said.

"Electricity has reached every village and almost every village is connected by road. Today, over 99% people in India have a gas connection for clean cooking," he added.

Modi also highlighted India's growth story and mentioned various initiatives undertaken by the government to further achieve the country's development agenda.
