PM Modi Bridged India-Netherlands Ties In The Hague Using Tulips and the Lotus

PM Modi Bridged India-Netherlands Ties In The Hague Using Tulips and the Lotus Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday praised the powerful, enduring bonds between India and the Netherlands. Speaking at an Indian community event, he highlighted the overwhelming warmth of the reception, noting that The Hague "has become a living symbol of Indian friendship." Addressing a vibrant gathering, the Prime Minister drew a poetic parallel between the national symbols of both countries, connecting the Dutch tulip with the Indian lotus. "The Netherlands is known for tulips, just as India is known for the lotus. Both the tulip and the lotus teach us that whether the roots are in water or in the earth, one gains both beauty and strength," he said. The sheer scale of the welcome left a deep impression on the Prime Minister. "Seeing so much love and enthusiasm, I forgot for a moment that I am in the Netherlands, and it felt like I was attending a festival in India only... It seems like The Hague has become a living symbol of Indian friendship," he added. Turning his attention to global affairs, PM Modi addressed the economic strain caused by the ongoing West Asia crisis. He warned that the current decade is fraught with instability, cautioning that hard-won global progress could easily be reversed if these issues are not resolved quickly. "The world is dealing with new challenges. First Corona, then war and today's energy crisis. This decade is becoming full of challenges. If the situation is not changed rapidly, the achievements of last multiple decades will be wasted and a huge section of the world's population will drown in poverty... In such times, India and the Netherlands are making endeavours to establish a future-ready supply chain...". #pmmodi #netherlands #modi #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst Watch More ➡️ Videos On:    / @republicdefence   Visit Now ➡️ Full Story On: https://www.republicworld.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch.
