We have ended hunger, but now we have to end famine.

I have a vision of India: an India free of hunger and fear, an India free of illiteracy and want.

We believe that the United States and the rest of the international community can play a useful role by exerting influence on Pakistan to put a permanent and visible end to cross-border terrorism against India.

Our objective should be to firmly deal with terrorism and its sponsors, financiers, and arms suppliers. At the same time, our doors should always be open for processes which would restore peace, development, and progress to societies which have been devastated by terrorism over many generations.

Members of India's diaspora, living in distant lands of the world, my good wishes to all of you. You may be far away from India, but you are always close to our hearts.

Empowering the individual means empowering the nation. And empowerment is best served through rapid economic growth with rapid social change.
