Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the landing of Chandrayaan-3 and the organisation of the recent G20 Summit in New Delhi in his 105th episode of Mann ki Baat on Sunday. “More than 80 lakh people watched [Chandrayaan-3’s landing] on ISRO’s YouTube channel, which is a record in itself,” Mr. Modi said. “This conveys how deep the attachment of crores of Indians is to Chandrayaan-3.”
“India has proven the mettle of its leadership by making the African Union a full member of the G20,” Mr. Modi said in his monthly radio show. He invoked the Silk Road to emphasise the significance of the proposed India-Middle East-Europe Economic corridor. “This corridor is going to become the basis of world trade for hundreds of years to come, and history will always remember that this corridor was initiated on Indian soil,” Mr. Modi stressed.
