Prime Minister’s foreign policy is benefiting India
There are two distinct strands in the foreign policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government one can discern based on the record of its first 100 days. The first is an overwhelming focus on business and putting India’s economic interests first. In his Independence Day address, Modi gave a clarion call to world powers: “Come, Make in India”.
This was a message intended to reach out to the global investor community and projecting India as the place where everybody was invited to manufacture everything from electrical to electronics, automobiles to agro value addition, paper or plastic and satellite or submarine.
The strong business content in foreign policy was also evident in the choice of the Head of Government with whom Modi had his first telephone conversation after taking over as Prime Minister (Chinese Premier Li Keqiang) and the country to which he made his first bilateral visit outside the subcontinent (Japan).
The business policy set out by the Prime Minister has shown acceptance towards foreign investment. This has acted towards the betterment of India as foreign investors are ready to come in.
