“PM Modi Praises Indian Workers in Kuwait, Links Their Aspirations to Vision for Developed India 2047”
Kuwait City [Kuwait], December 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday visited the Gulf Spic Labour Camp in Kuwait, where he took the opportunity to interact with Indian workers, acknowledging their significant contribution to India’s development.
During his visit, PM Modi linked the aspirations of Indian workers to his vision of a “Viksit Bharat 2047″ (Developed India 2047). He highlighted that the Indian workers, despite being far from home, dreamt of making significant changes in their local villages, even envisioning the construction of international airports. “This aspiration is the strength of my country,” he remarked.
The Prime Minister also praised the hard work and dedication of Indian farmers and laborers, emphasizing that their tireless efforts motivate him. “I keep thinking the whole day about how hard our farmers work, how hard our laborers work in the fields,” he said. He added that the determination of these workers drives him to work harder for the nation. “When I see all these people working hard, I feel that if they work for 10 hours, then I should also work for 11 hours; if they work for 11 hours, then I should work for 12 hours.”
PM Modi shared his personal motivation during the interaction, comparing his dedication to the workers’ commitment. “Do you work hard for your family or not? I also work for my family. There are 140 crore people in my family, so I have to work a little more,” he said.
The Prime Minister also touched upon India’s advancements in digital connectivity, noting that India now offers the cheapest data rates globally. This, he explained, has made communication much more accessible, allowing people to stay in touch with their families easily. “If we want to talk online anywhere in the world or even in India, the cost is much less. Even video conferences cost very little, and people have great convenience in connecting with their families every evening through video calls.”
PM Modi is currently on a two-day official visit to Kuwait, invited by Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Amir of the State of Kuwait. This marks the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Kuwait in 43 years.
Upon arrival, PM Modi was warmly welcomed by Kuwait’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence and Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, along with the country’s Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya and other high-ranking officials.
Ahead of the Prime Minister’s address at the ‘Hala Modi’ community event at the Shaikh Saad Al Abdullah Indoor Sports Complex, the Indian diaspora in Kuwait expressed immense excitement and enthusiasm, looking forward to the event with great anticipation.
