He also thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin, the host, for a “very imaginative and historic meeting that brings together major countries of the Eurasian region”, according to tweets by external affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup.

Modi said: “We have everything to build a future of shared prosperity in Eurasia. But we must do a few things.”

He proposed that the countries should build a climate of peace, goodwill and trust in the region; strengthen regional connectivity – physical as well as digital – and regional integration; combat terrorism and extremism and other forms of transnational crime, including money laundering and drug trafficking, according to the MEA tweets.
