 Purposeful pursuit of national interests, pragmatic issue-based alignments with countries, and a proactive diplomatic outreach characterized and configured India's foreign policy. With an enhanced diplomatic outreach, shaping and stabilizing the geopolitical landscape, focused on diplomacy for development, offering a wide array of citizen-centric services, and promoting an increasingly powerful brand India, these five pillars, following the exemplary India way. The India way now especially would be to be more of a decider or a shaper rather than an abstainer. I think the India way would be a country which brings its capacities to bear on the international system for global good. Last few years have seen a record number of high-level incoming and outgoing visits at the level of President, Vice President, Prime Minister, External Affairs Minister and other Ministers of the Government of India under the Brahad Samparka Yodana Outreach Initiative, undertaken by Ministry of External Affairs, covering more than 190 United Nations countries. Driven by the ethos of mutual empowerment, India has shared funds, technology and expertise with countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. This development cooperation, channelized through lines of credit and grants, includes assistance in capacity building, training and enhanced cooperation in education and health. Building connectivity at strategic locations has been an important tool for diplomacy since long. The new India is working proactively to connect with the world. The Chabahar Port in Iran is now operational, providing sea-land connectivity with Afghanistan for trading between India, Iran and Afghanistan. There are ongoing projects with neighboring countries also, focused on improving connectivity. Here is the 1360-kilometres-long India-Mayanmar-Thailand trilateral highway connecting Moray and Manipur to Mysore in Thailand, which is set to change the face of the Northeast region, understanding the need to foster global linkages for attaining national development in India. The Ministry of External Affairs is playing a proactive role in facilitating people-centric domestic programs of national development in the country, thus engaging in diplomacy for development. Diplomatic efforts have enabled India to procure uninterrupted and affordable flow of oil and natural gas from major Gulf countries. These diplomatic efforts for energy security are on nuclear energy, hydrocarbons and renewable energy. Through diplomatic engagements with like-minded countries, India took the first step to spearhead the International Solar Alliance that will provide clean energy to millions of Indians by expediting solar energy production. One more project with the Ministry, engaging proactively in diplomacy for development, is the Namami Ganga Program, which was launched to rejuvenate the living heritage, the river of life, the sacred Ganga. The Ministry has at the forefront of securing foreign collaboration and technical expertise for the Namami Ganga project. This is one of the most open countries for foreign direct investment today. More than 90% of our sectors are now on automatic route for approval. And the confidence in India, we have received FDI worth over $250 billion over the past four years. What is giving a fillip to this increase in FDI is the Government of India's Manufacturing Initiative, MAKE in India. The focus of the government in MAKE in India helps greatly in developing not only processes but also people and talents in the country, which is in my opinion the main enabler for growing an economy. Leading companies from around the world are now eyeing India to set up a manufacturing base for their products. The MAKE in India initiative has also ignited a startup culture in India. Today, India is sourcing capital and technology for startups through collaborative ventures with other countries, all of which has been made possible with Ministry of External Affairs mantra of diplomacy for development. In terms of how the whole startup ecosystem in India is growing, that's also benefitting because both talent and the ecosystem is more acceptable to new age fast growing tech based companies in India. Another initiative supported by the Ministry's vision of diplomacy for development is Skill India. An ambitious mission of training 400 million Indians by 2022. Skill India is committed to empower the youth of the country, create a dynamic skill to workforce and transform India into the world's human resource capital. Development focus diplomacy is often seen in the interweaving of flagship schemes of the government. One more such program is Smart Cities, which aims at enhancing the quality of life of its citizens through the application of smart solutions. Several countries have shown a keen interest in helping India realize its ambitious dream of developing 100 smart cities. The Ministry has led the way by forging digital partnerships with other countries to strengthen digital empowerment in the country. Through an investment of more than $300,000, coming from top CEOs and support given by leading companies like Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Facebook, efforts are getting channelized for upgrading the country's overall digital infrastructure. Ranging from awareness campaigns like pre-departure orientation training and portals like E-Sanat, Madat, E-Migrate to help people migrate easily. Along with services in centers like Pravasi Bhartia Sahayata Kendra and Indian Community Welfare Fund as well as the expedited passport services, the foreign policy is focused on helping Indians living in the country and abroad. Portals like Madat, run by the Ministry, are significantly changing the lives of Indian citizens abroad who need to or want to file their consular grievances with the Indian government. And linked to Madat is the fully automated system of E-Migrate, which has made the process of immigration simpler and transparent. On the other hand, one such single point window of service for Indians living anywhere in the world are the Pravasi Bhartia Sahayata Kendra, sales with a team of experts working on legal, financial and social issues. Along with assistance in distress, offices of protector of immigrants in India also provides financial assistance and run an insurance scheme, providing compulsory coverage to Indians working in ECR countries, especially the Gulf region. And with the launch of the Ministry's passport-sever project, an era of passport revolution has been sweeping the nation. It is very hassle-free, it is quick and everyone over here is very friendly and it's comfortable now. It took about two months for the passport to arrive, but everything has become so systematic that your passport will come to a minimum of two to three weeks. Today, 37 passport officers, 93 passport-sever kendras and 424 post office passport-sever kendras across the nation and 196 Indian missions and posts abroad are working together to bring passports to every doorstep of the countrymen. Home to all major religions and diverse cultures, the idea of India as a vibrant, pluralistic society has struck a chord, making the world more amenable to India's aspirations. The India way would be really brand India, you know, brand India in terms of what is unique to us as a power, the fact that we have this extraordinary diaspora which connects us in a way in which it does to very few powers, the fact that today we would be increasingly a pool of global talent that our heritage, our traditions, you know, what you've seen happen with yoga or what you see now happening with Indian traditional medicine and also more modern way, I would say shaping the discourse. In building a new India, the 31 million strong Indian diaspora is going to play a critical role by remitting more than 80 billion dollars. This soft power and its contribution and cooperation will help fulfill the dreams and aspirations of all Indians. Thank you.
