- Excellency, Namaskar! First of all, I express my deepest sympathy on behalf of 1.3 billion people of India for the grievous losses caused by COVID-19 pandemic in Luxembourg.
- And I also compliment your able leadership in this painful time. Excellency, Our Virtual Summit today is very important in my view.
- We have been meeting at various international forums, but this is the first formal summit between India and Luxembourg in the last two decades.
- Today, as the world is struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic led economic and health challenges, the India-Luxembourg partnership can be useful for the recovery of both countries from both the challenges.
- Shared ideals like democracy, rule of law and freedom strengthen our relations and mutual cooperation.
- There is great potential to scale up the economic exchanges between India and Luxembourg. Currently, we have good cooperation in areas like steel, financial technology, digital domain – but there is immense potential to take it further.
- I am happy that a few days ago our space agency launched four satellites of Luxembourg. We can further enhance mutual exchanges in the field of space as well.
- We welcome Luxembourg’s announcement of joining the International Solar Alliance – ISA. And we further invite you to join Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.
- His Royal Highness the Grand Duke’s visit to India in April this year was postponed due to COVID-19. We wish to welcome him to India soon. I would also like you to visit India soon.
- Excellency, Now I would like to invite your opening remarks.
