PM Modi has a strong focus on making the country, the world’s third-largest economy after the United States and China.

Modi on India-China relations

During an interview with the US magazine Newsweek in April, Narendra Modi underlined the significance of the relations between India and China. He asserted that there is immediate attention required to the prolonged situation on borders.
