How did Modi show Indian ambitions in Davos?

The World Economic Forum officially opened in Davos on the 23rd after a grand opening ceremony in heavy snow. The first keynote speaker of the forum was Indian Prime Minister Modi. This is the first time that the Indian Prime Minister attended the Davos Conference since 1997, and it is also the first time that the Indian Prime Minister delivered a keynote speech in Davos. Modi tried to show India's great power ambition in his speech. If last year's World Economic Forum was dominated by China, this year's Indian government is making efforts in this direction.

The Indian delegation to Davos after more than 20 years will stay for 36 hours. Modi was accompanied by a huge delegation of 129 people, including six ministers, two chief ministers, CEOs of 100 companies, Bollywood movie stars, famous Indian chefs and yoga masters. Modi's speech is part of India's charm offensive. His large poster has been hung in the small town of Davos with the slogan "India is a business opportunity".

On the same day, Modi pointed out in his speech that the world now faces three major challenges: climate warming, terrorism and anti-globalization. Modi outlined his prospects for India and the world, covering issues such as science and technology, environmental change, terrorism and trade agreements. He said that globalization is losing its luster and protectionism is taking root. Modi obviously noticed that China leaders supported globalization and free trade at the Davos Forum last year as a response to Trump's tough trade and business policies.

In addition to talking about the problems facing the world, Modi also spent a lot of time talking about India. He said that when India last attended the Davos Conference, its GDP was US$ 400 billion. Twenty years later, India's GDP has increased sixfold. Modi said that India does not seize the natural resources of any country. India believes that any differences can be resolved through dialogue. Modi made the above speech as a global politician. He wants to show that India is ready to do business with the world.

"This Davos Forum is the Indian Davos Forum." Although US President Trump will deliver a keynote speech on the last day, Zander Labarbe Naidu, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, India, has been unable to restrain his excitement and reached an early conclusion. He told India's Asia News Agency on 23rd that Prime Minister Modi is promoting India in Davos, which is a good opportunity. India's Energy Minister said that the Indian delegation will present the vision of a new India in Davos. During the forum, Modi will hold activities with 120 international business members and attend a round table dinner with 40 global industry leaders. At the reception, there were both Indian food and Indian customs performances.

The World Economic Forum has become another venue for Modi to promote the geopolitical agenda. He hopes to use this stage to "shoulder to shoulder" with Trump under the Alps and have a greater say in shaping world rules. The report quoted analysts as saying that India has always hoped to win a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and become a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, so as to obtain nuclear fuel and technology more easily. In this process, China has become the benchmark that India hopes to surpass and the object to emulate.

However, given the complex problems facing India, Modi's Indian ambition has been questioned. Indian Parliament President Rahul Gandhi sarcastically tweeted on 23rd: "Mr. Prime Minister, welcome to Voss! Please tell the participants why India 1% people own 73% of the country's wealth. I am writing a report for your reference. Just a few hours before Modi's speech, the World Economic Forum released the "Inclusive Development Index", and India ranked 62nd, far below China's 26th and even behind Pakistan's 47th.

There are different views on Modi's speech. Although everyone appreciates Modi's public criticism of the rise of protectionist forces representing emerging economies, many people believe that India's future development faces many uncertainties, and it is not only trade protectionism that affects India's development. In his speech that day, Modi did not give a very clear idea on how the Indian market can move towards a healthier and more driving level. Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, told reporters after the meeting that she had hoped that Modi would at least mention the living conditions of Indian girls, which is also a true portrayal of Indian society, but Modi avoided talking about it.
