Beszédében a Nagykövet felidézte, hogy az UNESCO felvette a Deepavalit az emberiség szellemi kulturális örökségének reprezentatív listájára. Ez is mutatja, hogy Narendra Modi miniszterelnök előrelátó vezetésével India történelmi útra lépett, amelyet egy világos civilizációs elv vezérel: Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi, azaz fejlődés is, örökség is. A példátlan modern fejlődés kéz a kézben jár ősi örökségünk büszke ünneplésével.
