Talking about relations with neighbouring countries, Modi held that only a strong nation can ensure good ties with neighbours and said that BJP will be “pro-active” in its approach but will see to it that the nation's interests are kept foremost while dealing with them.
Stressing on “pro-people and pro-active good governance,” he said that he wanted to take the nation on the path of speedy progress and replicate Gujarat's growth of over 10 per cent across the country. Defending the Gujarat model, he said people have given their answer by electing him thrice.
