technology opportunity thinking
The Chinese economy is growing at the rate of 9 percent; the Indian economy growing at the rate of 8 percent - enormous I think opportunities for two-way flow of trade, technology and investment.
country believe thinking
I believe that without looking at each other as rivals or as competitors, in a democratic India, operating in the framework of an open economy, an open society has, I think, some significance for developing countries, not only in Asia but outside Asia.
country thinking world
There are diverse ways in which - right now, terror and all that goes with it is a prime concern. It's a concern of the United States. It's a concern of India. Joint strategies, cooperation, joint sharing of intelligence, in controlling terrorism, in making the world free from terror. I think that's the fundamental, I think, consideration if our development aspirations are to be fulfilled. And I think our two countries can cooperate.
country thinking chinese
China is not I think a country which does not regulate, but there is a difference between the Chinese system and the Indian system.
grim poverty saw student thinking troubled
From the beginning, as a thinking student of 15, 16 years ago, I was troubled by the grim poverty that I saw around me.
technology thinking revolution
With the revolution in information technology, with the revolution in transport technologies, I think just geography has lost its all significance.
children thinking chinese
Because the Chinese insistence on one child, I think the proportion of older, non-working age population is going to rise sharply in China.
commitment thinking together
I pray for that moment in which I think we can claim to the world that we are now in a different, new era of Indo-American relationship of trust, of working together, partnership strengthened both by our commitment to common values, and also the identity of interests.
gratitude thinking profound
I should like to express our profound gratitude to the Americans of Indian origin. The way they have conducted themselves, the way they have worked hard to carve out a niche for themselves in the Silicon Valley, I think this has also given America a new idea about what India is capable of.
convinced disease economy expect growth improve india national next percent perhaps possible potential rate repeat row sustain upwards visualize year
For two years in a row we have upwards of 7 percent growth in our national income. This year we expect to repeat that performance. I am convinced that we will sustain this rate of growth perhaps even improve upon in the next years. This has the potential of transforming our economy in many ways. It is now possible as never before to visualize India without poverty, without disease and scourge,
overcome problems work
If we work together, we can overcome these problems,
gandhi gave good heart job might quite shot
His heart is in the right place. If Sonia Gandhi would let him have a shot at the job she gave him, he might do quite a good job.
china india together
India and China can together reshape the world order.
enough economy taxes
If the economy grows enough, fast enough, the tech system should be modernized so that the tax revenues rise fast enough also, and we should put more money in education.
