While addressing the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana, PM said, “I am deeply honoured to address this esteemed house today. It is a privilege to be in Ghana, a land that radiates the spirit of democracy”.
“As a representative of the world’s largest democracy, I bring with me goodwill and greetings of 1.4 billion Indians,” said PM Modi at Ghana Parliament today. PM added, “Ghana is known as the land of Gold, not just for what lies under your soil but as much for the warmth and strength in your heart.”
“For us, democracy is not merely a system. It is a part of our fundamental values,” said PM Modi in his address to the Ghana Parliament. PM Modi said, “Last evening was a deeply moving experience, receiving your national award from my dear friend, President John Mahama is an honour…On behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India, I thank the people of Ghana for this honour.”
“India is the mother of democracy. For us, democracy is not merely a system; it is a part of our fundamental values…India has over 2,500 political parties, 20 different parties governing different states, 22 official languages, and thousands of dialects. This is also the reason that people who came to India have always been welcomed with open hearts,” said the PM.
Addressing the Parliament of the Republic of Ghana, PM Modi added, “Earlier today, I had the honour of paying tribute to our visionary and statesman, and the beloved son of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah. He once said that the forces that unite us are greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart. His words continue to guide our shared journey.”
