In his speech he said, India is the land of immense opportunity and it is the place to be. He welcomed all the partners of the events and the participating nations to the event and assured them of a better and bigger platform for investments. He said that with a proper functional democracy, a strong judicial system, efficient and cheap labour, India will provide the investors what they are looking for.
