As the keynote speaker, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this is a world of inter-dependent fortunes and failures, and no nation can shape and secure it on its own.
On the relations between India and China, Modi said the two countries have
displayed maturity and wisdom in managing issues and ensuring a peaceful border,
