It includes all nations in this geography as also others beyond who have a stake in it,” said Modi. He further expressed the government’s vision for India saying, “Our principal mission is transforming India to a New India by 2022, when independent India will be 75 years young.” Further, the prime minister clarified that India does not see the Indo-Pacific region as a strategy or as a club of limited members. Commenting on international disputes, the prime minister said, “Competition is normal. But, contests must not turn into conflict; differences must not be allowed to become disputes.” He further remarked, “Solutions cannot be found behind walls of protection, but in embracing change. What we seek is a level playing field for all. India stands for open and stable international trade regime,” Talking about how the Indian Ocean shaped much of India’s history with a significant volume of trade flowing to the East, Modi focused on regional unity that has made the region a trading hub. “The Indian Ocean carries 90 percent of our trade,” said Modi. On Friday, India and Singapore agreed to deepen their economic and defence ties as they signed eight agreements including one on logistics cooperation between their navies after wide-ranging talks between Modi and his counterpart Lee Hsien Loong.
