IANS Exclusive: Delhi: On India's rise under PM Modi, Italian Ambassador to India, Antonio Bartoli says, "Of course, Modi is an extraordinary political leader. I mean, one can have his own opinion, can agree or not agree, but he has an extraordinary capacity to connect with people. I mean, it suffices to see the Twitter account, but this is not, I mean, the vote. For example, the 2047 objective. We all see that India is making a lot of headway in any sector, of course, economic growth is evident, and of course, there are still many fragilities, for example, the fact that yes, you have 7 per cent, 6 per cent, 7 per cent even in the next years, but then you have to divide this by 1.4 billion.

00:00Now, let's start from the leader. Of course, Modi is an extraordinary political leader.
00:10One can have his own opinion, can agree or not agree, but he has an extraordinary capacity to
00:18connect with people. I mean, it suffices to see the Twitter account, but this is not, I mean,
00:26the vote. And he has the ability to build, that is fundamental for leaders to give a sense of
00:36direction to people and to provide a narrative, which doesn't mean an artificial narrative,
00:44narrative in the sense that we have to strive for these objectives. And here is where we are
00:51going to, for example, the 2047 objective. And we all see that India is making a lot of
01:05headway in any sector. Of course, economic growth is evident. And of course, there are
01:13still many fragilities. For example, the fact that yes, you have 7%, 6%, 7% even in the next
01:25years, but then you have to divide these by 1.4 billion. But you are a very young country,
01:34because, I mean, the median age is 28. You will remain a young country, you have a good level of
01:44education that, of course, you have to increase, but all the fundamentals are on your side.
01:51And for this reason, and for the reason that you are a huge democracy, and so we share the same
01:58value in Italy and Europe in general, want to partner more and more with India.
