PM Modi highlights BIMSTEC’s role as engine of economic, social growth – Kashmir Reader

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reaffirmed India's commitment to the seven-nation BIMSTEC grouping and highlighted its role as an engine of economic and social growth.
Foreign Ministers of BIMSTEC member states made a joint appeal to Modi on the second and final day of their retreat in Delhi.
The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) brings together seven countries from South and Southeast Asia for multifaceted cooperation.
Besides India, BIMSTEC includes Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan.
“I am happy to meet the Foreign Ministers of BIMSTEC. We discussed ways to strengthen regional cooperation, including connectivity, energy, trade, health, agriculture, science, security and people-to-people exchanges. We extended our full support to Thailand for a successful summit,” Modi said on X.
A PMO statement said Modi reaffirmed India's commitment to a peaceful, prosperous, resilient and secure BIMSTEC region and underlined its importance to India's 'Neighbourhood First' and 'Look East' policies as well as its SAGAR vision.
“The Prime Minister had fruitful discussions with the group of ministers on strengthening regional cooperation in various areas including connectivity, energy, trade, health, agriculture, science, security and people-to-people exchanges,” he said.
“He highlighted the role of BIMSTEC as an engine of economic and social growth,” the statement said.
He said Modi expressed India's full support to Thailand for the upcoming BIMSTEC summit to be held in September.
India hosted the BIMSTEC Foreign Ministers' Retreat to review various initiatives aimed at expanding cooperation among the member countries of the group.
In his inaugural address at the retreat, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called on the group to infuse new energies, new resources and new commitment to strengthen cooperation.
India has been making concerted efforts to make BIMSTEC a vibrant forum for regional cooperation as initiatives under SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) were not moving forward due to various reasons.
India is cooperating with countries in the Indian Ocean Region under the broader policy framework of SAGAR or Security and Growth for All in the Region.
