All I want to work towards is development: Modi tells Indian diaspora in Singapore
"All I want to work towards is development. Development that wipes tears from the eyes of poor, that empowers the youth & women," Modi said.
He said Indian now looks the world in the eye and talks.
Mentioning his Swachh Bharat Abhiyan move, Modi said: "The good part is, the people of India have decided that they want a clean India."
He said India will need Foreign Direct Investments for development.
Calling FDI as 'first develop India', Modi said: "India requires foreign investment. I feel FDI is also 'first develop India...There is an increase in FDI since we have taken office in 2014."
Amid loud cheers, Modi said he wants to see the nation manufacturing its own defence equipment.
"Should a nation of 125 crore people reply on other nations for defence equipment? Why can't we make it?" the Prime Minister asked the crowd.
Speaking further on the moves made by his government, Modi said: "We have begun a movement, we are working on skill development and we are working with Singapore, Germany, USA."
"We want renewable energy, wind energy, nuclear energy," the PM speaks on India's commitment towards a clean environment.
Ending his trip to Malaysia and Singapore, Modi left for India on Tuesday.
