No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.

I think there are enormous possibilities. And today there are no I think barriers to increased cooperation with India and the United States.

Globalization offers us enormous opportunities in the race to leapfrog in development processes. It also obliges us to set in motion processes which would minimize its risks.

India's growth rate will be accelerated, but in the process, America would also benefit.

I believe whether it is the United States or Europe, they will all end up as multicultural societies.

My vision is to work for the relationship between India and Pakistan which would be like the relation between Canada and the United States.

I have always believed that the ultimate purpose of economic policies and development policy is to meet the basic needs of our people. And for that, we need a fast-expanding economy.
