He stated that India has already established itself as a global power, and the country's expanding GDP is indicative of its increasing influence. “India is a world power. When you have the fourth-largest GDP in the world, you're a world power, whether you like it or not,” he remarked. “India has a very humble approach to these things, which is rather nice, nicer than other places that push themselves. I would say India has a great deal to contribute to the world,” he added.
