India will give seven and a half crore rupees to increase the operating budget : Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually addressed the conference of BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation). The PM said that this is the 25th year of the establishment of BIMSTEC, so I consider today's summit to be particularly important. The outcome of this landmark summit will write a golden chapter in the history of BIMSTEC.

Modi further said that President Rajapaksa has given efficient leadership to BIMSTEC in the challenging environment of the last two years. For which I congratulate him. In today's challenging global context, our region has remained no untouched. We are still facing the ill effects of Corona.

The development of Europe in the last few weeks has raised questions about the stability of the international order, in this context it has become important to make BIMSTEC regional cooperation more active. Today our BIMSTEC Charter is being adopted. It is also important to enhance the capacity of the Secretariat for BIMSTEC to meet our expectations. I suggest the Secretary General to prepare a roadmap to achieve this goal. He wrote.
