It is an
amazing experience .It is always great to listen one’s own prime minister in
foreign country. Mr. Modi came to Africa
(including 2 days visit in South Africa).He addressed a public meeting in Johannesburg.
The meeting was held at Ticket pro dome (a.k.a. Coca Cola dome where FIFA world
cup 2010 was inaugurated).
The entire show was very exciting.
Ticket Pro Dome became mini India. There were lots of musical and dance program.
The PM arrived at 7.30 and as soon as he entered the stage ”Modi Modi “ wave echoed inside the dome. Honorable PM started
his speech in his famous and unique style “Bhaio or Beheno”(brothers and
sisters). Uff next couple of minutes you can’t listen anything.. only claps and
“Modi Modi “wave again. What a popularity of our Prime minister in outside of
India as well. Honorable PM started in a very positive note. In his 45 mins speech,
he highlighted the historical relationship between these two countries. He didn’t
forget to mention the Indians who did fight for the political freedom of South Africa.
Interesting thing is that today is the day 10th July (1991), when international
sanction against South Africa (which was applied on South Africa due to apartheid)
was removed. South Africa came to mainstream of World economics and they first went
to Kolkata (India) to play first international cricket match.
Prime minister
assured both countries will keep the friendship and will run like Springbok in future
in economic and cultural field. He
mentioned how India is growing at 7.25% and aiming to achieve 8% growth rate in
next fiscal despite world economic slowdown. His vision about Global India was
highly appreciated. He specifically addressed the area where two countries will
work in near future (It includes Information Technology, Transportation, health
care, Infrastructure, sports etc.).
Being an Expat
it was a great experience and hope both the countries will get big benefits after
PM’s visit.
