Honourable President of Indonesia, Honourable Vice President, Honourable Speakers, Distinguished Members of Parliament, Excellencies, My dear brothers and sisters of Indonesia, Namaskar to all of you. Selamat Siang! It is a great joy and privilege to be among my Sahabat Sejati - my true friends.

I stand before you as the representative of 1.4 billion Indians and as a proud citizen of the Mother of Democracy, conveying the warm greetings and best wishes of all the people of India.

Today, India and Indonesia stand together at a defining moment in history. The first quarter of this century has now passed, and the next twenty-five years will be of immense significance for both our nations.

When the 1.4 billion people of India and the 290 million people of Indonesia move forward together with shared purpose and collective effort, the world will witness a new chapter.

The seas continue to hold immense opportunities for our shared future. I invite you today to take India–Indonesia relations to even greater heights.
