PM Modi in Kathmandu, Nepal
Kathmandu:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated a trauma centre in Kathmandu, Nepal. He also spoke at the event.
Here are the highlights:- I can never forget the love that Nepal has given me
- I am fortunate that I have been to Nepal again in a short span of time
- I have been to many countries recently, but the memories attached to Nepal... I can never forget the love that Nepal has given me
- This trauma centre is an example of the 'live' relations between Nepal and India (jeevant sambandh)... India will stand with Nepal in upgrading and maintaining this trauma centre
- I wanted to go to Janakpur, Lumbini and Muktinath by road so that I could experience first hand the difficulties faced by people traveling there. But due to lack of time, I couldn't go this time. I understand the disappointment of people there. I promise to visit these places as soon as I have the opportunity in the near future.
- There is a strong 'engine of trust and confidence' between India and Nepal.
- India is always ready to help save lives here. It's an honour for us that we can get to save lives of our own people.
- This is a medium of service. I am happy that I have got the opportunity to be here.
- In 100 days, India and Nepal began so many projects together because of vision of their leader.
- A thousand mega-watt power plant will start soon.
- We are also on the verge of reaching consensus on a motovehicle agreement.
- Bus service from Kathmandu to Delhi will not only benefit the common man but also give a boost to tourism.
- Have asked my officers if we can start Wi-Fi enabled buses from Kathmandu to Delhi.
- We need both highways and I-ways. India will work on your highways and I-ways.
- E-library will help us facilitate exchange and dissemination of knowledge.
- We are cooperating in the field of defence. We're giving Nepal and Dhruv helicopter today, we're also working on the police academy here.
- Your happiness puts a smile on our face.
- I urge political leaders in Nepal to arrive at a consensus on the Constitution.
- The Constitution should be inclusive and the makers in Nepal must ensure that it guarantees equal rights to all.
- Once made it can be amended, as it is in India, with two-thirds majority but everyone should feel that they have had their say in its initial iteration.
