00:00Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on the people of India to go to their villages
00:21and return to their country.
00:24He has called on the NRIs, the travellers of India, to project a future like the one
00:32that was envisioned by the developed India by Prime Minister Narendra Modi by 2047.
00:41So, let's welcome ETB, who has joined us from Kuwait.
00:49Sir, where are you from?
00:51My name is Kaizar Shakir and I am the chairman of the Indian Business and Professional Council of Kuwait.
00:57We have come to Orissa to participate in the Prabhasi Bharatiya Diwas with a delegation
01:03of almost 53 people from Kuwait.
01:06Have you been to Orissa before?
01:08No, this is the first time.
01:10Normally, I am from Bombay.
01:12The journey from Mumbai to Orissa is 2 hours.
01:14How is it?
01:16Where have you been?
01:18We went to Puri and Kunark.
01:20It is a very beautiful place.
01:22Kunark Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
01:28We were really impressed.
01:30And with the people of Orissa, the people of Bhubaneswar,
01:34the people who have welcomed us,
01:36the way they have welcomed us with love,
01:40the NRIs, it is commendable.
01:44The dream of a developed India by 2047, what will PM Modi say about it?
01:51Just two weeks ago, PM Modi came to Kuwait.
01:55When he came to Kuwait, he had a two-day journey.
01:59We met him there as well.
02:01He talked about the vision of 2047,
02:06the bilateral trade, the economic development of the country.
02:12I think he is saying 2047, but we should be able to do that in 2040,
02:17if PM Modi stays with us.
02:19For sure, we will be able to do.
02:21Because with him, as NRI, I can very proudly say that we are on the map.
02:26We used to be, but he has cemented the relationship that India has
02:31with all the countries around the world.
02:33It is not only the underdeveloped countries or the developing nations,
02:35but with the advanced nations.
02:37And we are one of the big advanced nations and a country to reckon with,
02:40with the young population.
02:42So, for sure, we are on the right trajectory.
02:44And with the guidance and leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister,
02:47we will attain great heights.
02:49You have said that there are many Indians living in Kuwait.
02:56Yes.
02:57So, in India, especially in Odisha,
03:00this time, as was the Indian Independence Day,
03:04there are many places for capital investment in Odisha.
03:09So, do you have any plans for that?
03:12As I told you, there are more than 10 lakh Indians living in Kuwait.
03:18So, there is a lot of tourism.
03:21The state governments basically are encouraged.
03:25And the government, the Prime Minister himself is encouraging
03:28through Invest India and other platforms for investment in various states.
03:32So, if the state comes out over there and does a road show and a workshop,
03:38definitely investments come into the country.
03:41Because a lot of Kuwaitis, a lot of GCC countries have started investing in the country, in India.
03:46So, Odisha definitely could be an investment opportunity,
03:49an investment hub for the country.
03:51And I, as the Chairman of IBPC, would definitely invite people
03:55from the investment hub of Odisha to come
03:58and we would be there to cooperate at all times.
04:00Sir, in which area would you like to invest?
04:03It could be in real estate, it could be in hotels, hospitality,
04:06it could be in, hospitality is one of the infrastructure works,
04:12would be one of the other.
04:14Or it could be even in medicine and pharmacies as such.
04:18So, because India has been the pharmaceutical hub of this thing.
04:21So, whatever requirements of Odisha would be or to develop Odisha as such,
04:25I am sure that people would be ready to invest in that.
04:30Thank you very much.
04:31So, as you were listening, the people from Kuwait,
04:34their aim is to invest in Odisha,
04:39the environment, the environment,
04:41it is a unique environment.
04:43And here, in the future, like Kuwait and India,
04:46the political relationship,
04:48whatever the relationship is, the trading relationship,
04:51they can take it forward and invest in Odisha as well.
