Closing Remarks by PM at the 21st ASEAN-India Summit, Lao PDR


Your Majesty,

Excellencies,

I express my gratitude for our positive discussions today and for all your valuable insights and suggestions.

I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone for the successful organization of today’s summit.

The two Joint Statements we have adopted to strengthen digital transformation and our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership will lay the groundwork for our collaboration in future. I commend all for this achievement.

I would like to express my gratitude to Singapore for its positive role as India’s Country Coordinator in ASEAN over the past three years. Thanks to your support, we have made unprecedented progress in India-ASEAN relations. I also welcome and congratulate the Philippines as our new Country Coordinator.

I am confident that we will continue to collaborate for the bright future of two billion people and for regional peace, stability, and prosperity.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Prime Minister of Lao P.D.R. for the exemplary chairmanship of ASEAN.

As Malaysia assumes the mantle of the next chair, I convey my best wishes on behalf of 1.4 billion Indians.

You can rely on India’s unwavering support for success of your Chairmanship.

Thank you very much.
