China is very important. The future growth of China, China's influence is bound to rise.

I do believe that the future of civilization belongs to those who would lay emphasis on working together instead of talking about clash of civilizations.

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

Together with international unity and resolve we can meet the challenge of this global scourge and work to bring about an international law of zero tolerance for terrorism.

Meaningful solutions to the problems of mass poverty that prevails in India I believe can only be found in the framework of an expanding economy.

Democracy is good for everybody.

The service of India means the service of those teeming millions steeped in poverty, ignorance and disease. To see that in my lifetime we can soften these harsh edges of extreme poverty and unleash a new economic and social revolution which will bring out the latent creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our people, I think that's what I feel, I think.
