I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.

If the economy is growing fast, there is call for a distributing income from the rich to the poor to to put in place social safety nets.

I sincerely believe what happens in India has, I think, lessons, morals for the future evolution of humankind in the 21st century.

We need multiculturalism, respect for diversity, tolerance, respect for diverse faiths.

I believe a large part of humanity will draw appropriate lessons from what is the wave of the future in the 21st century.

Nowhere else you will find a country of India's diversity, of India's complexity, one billion people trying to seek their social and economic salvation in the framework of democracy, in the framework of an open economy.

I sincerely hope that whatever influence the United States has in Pakistan, it will convince Pakistan that using terrorism as an instrument of state policy has no place in the world that we want to build.
