Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the South Korean capital of Seoul this morning. He addressed a reception organised by the Indian community, which around 1500 people attended.
Here are the highlights of what he said:
- First, we had a 'Look East' policy. Now, we have an 'Act East' policy.
- We have been part of talks for BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
- There had been worries that BRICS was beginning to fail because the 'I' was hanging.
- But now, over the past one year, the 'I' has become strong.
- It has now come to a point where BRICS cannot exist without the 'I'.
- India is now the fastest-growing economy of the world.
- This century was called the Asian century. That idea was was dwindling earlier. But now, it seems it is possible.
- I decided to first come and meet you and then get work.
- South Korea was called the 'Lamp of the East' by Rabindranath Tagore.
- There used to be a point in time when people used to regret being born in India and leaving the country saying it is no good. They wanted to leave for better opportunities.
- Now, those people are saying they are ready to come back even if their incomes are lower than in other places. The mood has changed.
- We went India to become a manufacturing hub. World's best technology to come to India.
- There has been great technological advancement in Korea. All of you here, should be able to help us with technological advancement when we need it.
- What happens in India must affect you as someone who is witnessing it from inside.
- You must have all information of what is happening in India, in spite of being so far.
- Every country has problems.
- After coming here, you must have realised that every country has problems.
- Till 30 years ago, didn't South Korea have problems?
- But we need to work towards getting out or resolving these problems.
- I have come with one medicinal herb that I am offering as a remedy to India's problems. And that medicinal herb is 'development'.
- Development is not just about making big buildings or good roads.
- I want to improve the quality of life.
- When I became Prime Minister, I was shocked. The news that was coming out was not that Modi is doing this or Modi is doing that.
- The news that was coming out was that people have started going to the office on time.
- That pained me. It should have been a matter of course, not something out of the way. Do we tweet when we have a good meal made by our mothers? No matter how good it, we treat it as a matter of course.
- For any country, diplomatic relationships with its neighbours is of highest importance.
- We have done nothing new. We have only done what comes naturally to humans - humanity.
- We have chosen the path of humanity to reconnect to the world.
- We can reconnect to the countries on basis of humanity.
- Discussions on SAARC are emerging again.
- We have given precedence to humanity issues in SAARC, in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan.
- Nepal's Prime Minister has openly said that he found out about the earthquake from Modi's tweet.
- Bangladesh has a history of instability.
- In one year in government, we resolved the boundary issue with Bangladesh.
- I appreciate all the parties of the country for their support on this issue.
- This was historic, because it was the first time that both the Lower House and Upper House of Parliament passed a bill unanimously.
- In Yemen, we evacucated many Pakistanis.
- Not just that, Pakistan evacuated 11 Indians. And they did not stop with that. They flew them out in a special plane.
- That is a barometer of the rising cooperation with out neighbours on the basis of humanity.
- I have come here to tell you that the extent to which Narendra Modi has a right over India, you too have the same right over India.
- I can perceive all over the world that than those of us sitting in government and in government offices, it is Indians like you who are doing the nation proud.
- Those in government or in government organisations may be doing India proud in the hundreds. But there are thousands of you doing that. And we cannot surpass you.

- How has China changed in 30 years? Change did not happen overnight. Their growth was the highest for 30 years and that has taken China to new heights.
- There are more Indians living in China than there are Chinese in India. This is why we have a bigger responsibility.

- Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: Languages may vary, other features may differ but entire world is a family and that is what we have been taught
- You will get an off tomorrow on Sunday and I will be working in Mongolia.
- Can you imagine, Mongolia calling a session of its Parliament on a Sunday and the Indian PM addressing it.
- The time is changing at a fast pace. Nobody would have wondered, that in China, so many Indian citizens will be living a peaceful, happy life.
- Just a year earlier, this two and a half hour time difference would have bothered you. You would have been eager to know the results of the elections in India.
- Everyone asked who knows Modi outside India. Only people in Gujarat know him.
- The criticism was correct but the doubt has been proved wrong.
Nearly 5000 people have gathered at the ICBS Expo Centre; they have traveled from other Chinese cities to welcome the Prime Minister.
The Indian Consulate in Shanghai estimates that around 4,000 Indian nationals live in the city, known as China's business capital, with another 4,000 in two neighbouring provinces.
- If you look at the ancient history of China and India, you will see people in both country's were thirsty for knowledge (gyanpipasu).
- Knowledge about any part of the world helps mankind.
- To open the doors of knowledge, one requires inner strength.
