Manmohan Singh says India is changing…

Hey all,
    Today, Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India, said in a think tank that India was changing. We got the news from CNN IBN blog.

    Political “postures” in the country are
often “out of line with our current interests”, said Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh on Monday.

    “I am often disappointed by the lack of
adequate appreciation in our country, including among our political
leaders, of the changing nature of our relationship with the world, and
indeed with the region around us,” Singh said at the silver jubilee of
Indian Council for Research and International Economic Relations.

    “Very often, we adopt political postures
that are based in the past and are out of line with our current
interests as an increasingly globalised and globally integrated
economy,” he told the think tank.

    Without naming any political party or
leader, Singh said that he is disappointed that India’s new
relationship with the world and its impact on our domestic policies is
not appreciated.

    India was destined to be more globally
engaged and more integrated with its own region. “Even today, our
energy security is closely intertwined with our political relations
with a wide range of countries around the globe. Our food security,
indeed our national security, are closely linked to developments around
the world,” he said.

    A deeper understanding of China and
studying the World Trade Organisation (WTO), South Asia, South-East
Asia, West and Central Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North
America would help in forming domestic policies, he said.

    Anyway, this a brilliant strike forward by the PM, since this revealed India’s changing stance to development, and the world as a whole…
