The European Union and India radiate a message to the world that regional cooperation and interregional collaboration will lead to a win-win situation for all, so that we can have a politically and socio-economically emergent civilisation. With India’s and the European Union’s centuries of valuable experience, we can develop a doctrine of global cooperation based on the foundation of regional collaboration and core competencies of our nations. Both are conscious of the need for growth to respect the environment and to make it sustainable for future generations. The European Union and India support a social form of economic development and we encourage a model of growth with equity. It has become an inspirational model and an example to emulate for every region in the world.
Similarly, the European Union’s greatest contribution has been to demonstrate to the world that it is possible to build a strong union of nations without compromising national identities. India is a country that has learnt over the years to evolve and maintain a unique unity amid diversity. Scientists from India and Europe are very excited. For example, on 23 April 2007, the Italian scientific satellite Agile was launched by the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket system into a very precise orbit. This has matured into a very strong bond through sustained trade and intellectually satisfying collaboration in many areas of science and technology. I was astonished by what I found: the depth and vitality of our inter-connectedness, through language, culture, ancient beliefs, ideologies and the movement of people, have stood the test of time.
The European Union has become an example for connectivity among nations, probably with no possibility of war, leading to lasting regional peace.īefore I started out on my journey to Europe, I was thinking: why are Europe and India unique and natural partners? Do we share a common history and heritage and, possibly in the future, a common destiny? This was the question. Now, with this backdrop and these dynamics, you have established the European Union with a vision of peace and prosperity for the entire region. Europe was the theatre of conflicts among the nations lasting hundreds of years, including the two World Wars. Europe has seen the birth of pioneers in science, leading to the development of technologies. Its people were valiantly engaged in the adventure of exploring the Planet Earth, resulting in the discovery of many ideas and systems. I wish to share this experience with you, friends.Įuropean civilisation has a unique place in human history. As you are aware, as a democratic nation India has experience in providing leadership to over one billion people with multi-language, multicultural and multi-religious systems. I was wondering what thoughts I could share with you. I am indeed delighted to be with the honourable Members of the European Parliament on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee year of the European Union. I would particularly like to greet Mr Hans-Gert Pöttering, Mr Harald Rømer, Mr Klaus Welle and Mr Ciril Stokelj.
