Manmohan Singh Messages

India has, of course, aspirations of getting out of its poverty, ignorance, and disease which still afflict millions of people. But I do believe that we have something to offer to the rest of the world, including the United States.

I look upon India-U.S. nuclear cooperation as an act of historic reconciliation.

Indians, we would like to be a part of the nuclear world order, accepting all the responsibilities that go with being a responsible nuclear power, and at the same time enlarging our options with regard to energy security of our country.

India is a functioning democracy despite its extreme poverty, India has stayed the course.

India has remained a full, functioning democracy.

The salvation of the world ultimately lies in moving towards universal nuclear disarmament, but that's a long distance away.

I believe whether it is the United States or Europe, they will all end up as multicultural societies.

I believe a large part of humanity will draw appropriate lessons from what is the wave of the future in the 21st century.

Nowhere else you will find a country of India's diversity, of India's complexity, one billion people trying to seek their social and economic salvation in the framework of democracy, in the framework of an open economy.

Pakistan should be a moderate Islamic state. That it should be a prosperous country is in India's interests, and it is in the world's interests.
