Prime Minister Modi warned that systems that once bound the world—supply chains,
trade and technology—are increasingly being used as tools of coercion, eroding
confidence that supplies will remain available when needed. He said India will
adopt a different approach, noting decades-old trade routes are developing new
bottlenecks and that the rapid spread of AI across industries is exacerbating
the situation. Modi positioned India as a fundamentally different, trustworthy
partner and highlighted it as one of the fastest-growing major economies,
offering opportunities for global investors.
