The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said the business deals signed between India and China during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit are meant to promote employment and industrialisation in the country.
“The business deals that are being organised or have being hammered out with the Chinese businessman and the government have an essence and a major objective, which is the creation of jobs and industrialisation on a massive scale, so that India is flooded with what it needs the most ; ‘Jobs’!” BJP spokesperson MJ Akbar told ANI.
“Infrastructure is Prime Minister’s key aspect of economic vision. Infrastructure is the greatest creator of jobs in our contemporary environment. Now we are seeing the true momentum behind the Modi vision,” he added.
Earlier in the day, CEOs of a number of Chinese firms pledged their ‘full support’ to Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Prime Minister Modi devised a ‘5F Formula’ for the Chinese businessmen in the process of inviting them to ‘Make in India’: ‘from farm to fibre to fabric to fashion to foreign’.
Twenty two Chinese business tycoons were present for the interaction, including PowerChina chairman Yan Zhiyong, Xiaomi president Lin Bin, Huawei chairman Sun Yafang, Alibaba chairman Ma Yun, Harbin Electric chairman Zou Lei, Shangri-La Asia Limited chairman Kuok Khoon Chen and Sany chairman Liang Wengen, among others.
More than 20 agreements were signed between Indian and Chinese firms.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Modi left for Mongolia after a three-day successful tour of China. (ANI)
