New Delhi: Pitching India amongst the best investment destinations worldwide, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the country's political stability and policy continuity makes it the best place for global investors in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Addressing the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum through video conference, Modi also cited a slew of reforms undertaken by his government and asserted that India is committed to democracy and diversity and it has undertaken far-reaching reforms in recent months.
Noting that the current situation demands a fresh mindset that is human-centric, Modi said that India did the same by scaling up its healthcare facilities in a record time to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
