"When one dream is realised, a new one is born" - Modi :::: Blasts at terror camps echoed across world: PM's Op Sindoor mention in Australia ::: India of 21st century is moving steadily towards becoming a developed nation

Referring to India's anti-terror operation in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 9 underscored that the country's actions sent a clear message that India would respond firmly to terrorism. 

Thirty thousand people, most of them Indian Diaspora, gathered to hear Prime Minister. This was "largest such gathering" ever to happen in Australia. 

"When one dream is realised, a new one is born. One goal achieved gives rise to an even greater resolve. This is an India that believes in 'Grow More, Achieve More'".

"The world is witnessing the capability and credibility of India's defence platforms," he told a massive gathering at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. 

Addressing the Indian community, he asserted that India's indigenous defence capabilities have earned global recognition.

"During Operation Sindoor, you must have seen the explosions that struck terrorist hideouts. Their echoes were heard across the world. When such a decisive strike was carried out against terror camps, didn't it make you feel proud?" 

-- he asked the gathering, drawing loud cheers and applause from the crowd.

PM Modi said India of the 21st century is moving steadily towards becoming a developed nation, driven by the aspirations of its 1.4 billion people. He made a strong push for 'Make in India', saying Indian-made products are gaining widespread global acceptance and recognition on a large scale. 

Notably, India will supply Indonesia with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles. This was finalised in talks Prime Minister Modi held talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.

An agreement for “cooperation on BrahMos System” was struck during Modi's three-visit recently. The two countries also reached an agreement on air-to-air missile cooperation that “enhances technology collaboration and defense capabilities". 

PM has hailed the “growing trust” between Jakarta and New Delhi after his meeting with Prabowo, which he said underpinned cooperation in “defense, security and maritime affairs”.

“Today, we reached an agreement to enhance defense exchanges, disaster management, and industrial cooperation,” Modi told reporters.

"Over the past 12 years, 'Make in India' has evolved into a global brand. Our mobile phones and electronics have reached markets across the globe. Our automobiles and pharmaceutical products have expanded their global footprint," Modi told Indian community in Melbourne.  

The Prime Minister said India is now the world's fastest-growing major economy and is determined to become one of the world's top three economies at the earliest.

"We are a nation of 1.4 billion people filled with aspirations. We are eager, we are impatient. We are the world's fastest-growing major economy, but we want to become one of the world's top three economies as soon as possible," he said.

Highlighting India's technological progress, the PM asserted that the country has emerged as the world's second-largest 5G market and is rapidly working on developing indigenous 6G technology. "India has become the world's second-largest 5G market. Today, India is rapidly working on Made-in-India 6G technology," he said.

The Prime Minister also thanked the Indian community for the warm welcome, saying Melbourne had "stolen the show" with its enthusiastic reception. "The energy with which all of you and our Aussie friends have welcomed us is truly amazing. Melbourne has, in a way, stolen the show," he said.
