And in that, partnerships in various fields were seen. Prime Minister Modi is present there, and you are seeing this scene of cultural ties and sports ties. The scenes that were visible a while ago of both countries' leaders holding T-shirts in their hands showed how sports ties have connected the two countries. And during the celebration of those 100 years, both countries appeared during Prime Minister Modi's visit. Besides that, a glimpse of mini-India is visible there. Cultural programs from different states of India in their style and with those same gestures, and when the artists from there appear performing, it proves in itself how cultural ties between the two countries are continuously strengthening. Continuously, the partnership in various fields is becoming stronger. The strategic partnership between the two countries has reached a strategic milestone, which is very significant in itself. Along with this, the cooperation between UPI and New Zealand's payment system is very important. So whether we talk about culture, defense, security, prosperity, the partnership in all fields, India's stature on the global stage, Prime Minister Modi's... give a thunder welcome.
The moment, ladies and gentlemen. The applause shouldn't stop. With loud applause, we would like to call. I will love it.
Ladies and gentlemen, we request you all to rise. Can we all give a stand? Moment.
Ladies and gentlemen, can you please stand for the New Zealand and India national anthem.
We are ready to step up together and take responsibility for a bright partnership. Committed to more India's wide-range area security, economics, people, people, education, tourism, sports, and culture.
