TIL Desk/National/Karwar/ The leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the contribution of armed forces have changed the perception of the world about India, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday. Singh arrived on a two-day visit to the Naval base here in Uttara Kannada district to interact with personnel of the Indian Navy.
“The perception about India is changing in the world. Earlier India was not taken seriously at the international fora. Today the world listens to us. It’s your contribution and the leadership of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi which makes the world hear us,” Singh said during his address to the Naval officers, personnel and their families at the Karwar Naval base.
To buttress his point, the Defence Minister recalled that during his visit to the United States, John Aquilino, the chief of the Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), which is considered to be the largest in the world, expressed his desire to connect with India and wished to see an Indian representative there. “This is not a small achievement. You have earned a huge recognition so much so that a major country like the US wishes to connect with you,” Singh said.
