 Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, Namaskar. Welcome to Varanasi, also known as Kashi. I'm delighted that we are meeting in Varanasi, which happens to be my parliamentary constituency. Kashi is not just the world's oldest living city, not far from here is Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon. Kashi is said to be a city of Sugyan, Dharma, or Satyarasi, a treasure chest of knowledge, duty, and truth. It is indeed the cultural and spiritual capital of India. I hope you have kept some time in your program to watch the Ganga Aarti, to visit Sarnath, and sample the delicacies of Kashi. Excellencies, culture has an inherent potential to unite. It enables us to understand diverse backgrounds and perspectives. And therefore, your work holds immense significance for entire humanity. We in India are very proud of our eternal and diverse culture. We also attach great value to our intangible cultural heritage. We have been working hard to preserve and revitalize our heritage sites. We have mapped our culture assets and artists, not just at the national level, but also at the level of all villages in India. We are also building several centers to celebrate our culture. Prime, among them, are the tribal museums in different parts of the country. These museums will showcase the vibrant culture of India's tribal communities. In New Delhi, we have the Prime Minister's Museum. This is one of its kind effort which showcases India's democratic heritage. We are also building the Yugey-Yugin Bharat National Museum. Once completed, it will stand at the world's largest museum. It will showcase India's history and culture spanning over 5,000 years. Excellencies, the issue of restitution of cultural property is an important one. And I welcome your efforts in this regard. After all, tangible heritage is not only of material value. It is also the history and identity of a nation. Everyone has the right to access and enjoy their cultural heritage. Since 2014, India has brought back hundreds of such artifacts that showcase the glory of our ancient civilization. I also commend your efforts towards living heritage as well as your contribution to culture for life. After all, cultural heritage is not just what is cast in stone. It is also the traditions, customs, and festivals that are handed down the generations. I am confident that your efforts will foster sustainable practice and lifetimes. Excellencies, we believe that heritage is a vital asset for economic growth and diversification. This is a code in our mantra, because we, virasad be, development as well as heritage. India takes pride in its 2,000 years old craft heritage with nearly 3,000 unique arts and crafts. Our one district, one product initiative, showcases the uniqueness of Indian crafts while fostering self-reliance. Your efforts towards promoting cultural and creative industries hold profound significance. This will facilitate inclusive economic development and support, creativity, and innovation. In the coming month, India is going to roll out the PM, Vishwakarma Yojana. With an initial outlay of $1.8 billion, it will create an ecosystem of support for traditional artisans. It will enable them to flourish in their crafts and contribute to preservation of India's rich cultural heritage. Friends, technology is an important ally in celebrating culture. In India, we have national digital district repository. It is helping to rediscover the stories of our freedom struggle. We are using technology to ensure better preservation of our cultural landmarks. We are also using technology to make our cultural places more tourist friendly. Excellencies, I'm glad that your group had launched the Culture Units All campaign. It encapsulates the spirit of Vasudhaya Kutumkamp, one earth, one family, one future. I also commend the pivotal role you are playing to shape a G20 action plan with tangible outcomes. Your work reflects the importance of the foresees culture, creativity, commerce, and collaboration. It will enable us to harness the power of culture to build a compassionate, inclusive, and peaceful future. I wish you all a very productive and successful meeting. Thank you.
