An unforgettable evening of Indian classical music in Prague! 🎶
The sublime artistry of @TrioMaharaj Pt. Vikash Maharaj on Sarod with Abhishek Maharaj on Sitar & Prabhash Maharaj on Tabla, created a mesmerizing musical experience celebrating 150 years of #VandeMataram

Highlighted India’s efforts in Africa, including the focus on training, capacity building, water resources, agriculture and energy. These are strengthening the capacities of African nations and helping them provide solutions to pressing global challenges.

Emphasised that the Global South has immense expectations from the world. More than support, it seeks partnership.
We must move beyond the donor-recipient mindset and work as equal partners!
We must walk together and not merely alongside one another.
Partnerships must be linked to dignity, not dependency.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
India believes that the true test of partnership is not what we build for others, but what we enable others to build for themselves.
Our development partnerships reflect the same spirit.
Our efforts have focused on capacity building and skill development in partner countries.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
We, in India, view the world as one family.
Our experience shows that development is most effective when it is connected to the aspirations of people.
This principle also forms the basis of our international partnerships like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Global Biofuels Alliance, Mission LiFE, and ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ (A tree for mother).
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
Mutual trust is the most important strategic asset today.
But, sadly, today, the world does not suffer from a shortage of resources…it suffers from a shortage of trust.
And the future of our partnerships depends on re-building this trust.

Shared my thoughts at the Outreach Session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’ at the G7 Summit in Evian. In a world that is getting more interconnected and interdependent than ever before, this subject becomes all the more vital. But, partnerships can succeed only when they are founded on trust.

Reunions, reflections, and a bit of nostalgia at the 11th Heads of Mission Conference.
Thought-provoking address by PM @narendramodi sets the tone for what lies ahead! Wonderful catching up with batchmates and colleagues—some things never change!
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
PM @narendramodi’s address was the highlight of the 11th Heads of Mission Conference that concluded today.
The importance of 3Ts (Trade, Technology & Tourism) for Indian diplomacy was clearly recognised in the deliberations.
Neighbourhood First, deeper engagement with diaspora,
resilience and de-risking were also discussed.
The Conference benefited from the views of prominent figures from the Government, business and technology worlds.
The active exchange of ideas during its various sessions lived up to the theme: ‘Reforming Indian Diplomacy for 2047’.

Gujarat, a drought-prone state became a top performing state in agriculture. The culture of trading expanded into robust industrial and manufacturing capacities. Regular curfews became a thing of the past. Social and physical infrastructure received a boost. It was very satisfying to be able to work with the people to achieve these outcomes.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
These 25 years have been filled with many experiences. Together, we have made remarkable strides. I still recall that when I took over as CM, it was believed that Gujarat could never rise again. Common citizens, including farmers, complained about lack of power and water. Agriculture was in the doldrums and industrial growth was stagnant. From there, we all worked collectively to make Gujarat a powerhouse of good governance.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
When I took oath as Chief Minister, I remember my Mother telling me - I do not have much understanding of your work but I only seek two things. First, you will always work for the poor and second, you will never take a bribe. I also told people that whatever I do will be with the best intent and will be inspired by a vision to serve the very last person in the queue.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
It was in very testing circumstances that my Party entrusted me with the responsibility of being Gujarat CM. The state was suffering due to a massive earthquake in the same year. The preceding years had witnessed a super cyclone, successive droughts and political instability. Those challenges strengthened the resolve to serve people and rebuild Gujarat with renewed vigour and hope.
Raveesh Kumar retweeted
On this day in 2001, I took oath as Gujarat’s Chief Minister for the first time. Thanks to the continuous blessings of my fellow Indians, I am entering my 25th year of serving as the head of a Government. My gratitude to the people of India. Through all these years, it has been my constant endeavour to improve the lives of our people and contribute to the progress of this great nation that has nurtured us all.
