NEW DELHI:
Addressing a gathering of the Indian community at the "Hala Modi" event at Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah indoor sports complex in Kuwait, Modi said the age-old ties between the two countries should serve as the foundation for creating a futuristic partnership.
Modi noted that he was first Indian premier to visit Kuwait in 43 years.
Noting that Kuwait leaders and people have praised the skills and hard work of the one million-strong Indian community in the West Asian country, he said Indian teachers are creating the next generation of Kuwaiti citizens while professionals such as engineers and architects are building the next generation of infrastructure.
While inviting the Indian diaspora to join the drive for building a developed India by 2047, Modi said the country is moving forward as a "Vishwa Bandhu" (friend of the world) with the good of the world in mind. India, with its young population, is set to meet the world's demand for skilled manpower in the coming years and has signed migration and mobility pacts with two dozen countries, including Mauritius, Italy and Germany.
"The developed countries are opening their doors for skilled Indian manpower," Modi said, adding that hundreds of thousands of Indians had benefited from the eMigrate portal that matches recruitment agents and foreign employers.
