Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is growing steadily because its government and policies are stable.
He said many countries are facing mistrust and other problems, but people still see India as hopeful.
Modi talked about reforms that make it easier for citizens and businesses to operate.
These reforms include removing old laws and reducing penalties for some actions.
He said the government should trust businesses instead of controlling them too closely.
He also described seven important areas for India’s future, including manufacturing, technology, defence, and environmental industries.
Modi said India’s G20 message of “One Earth, One Family, One Future” shows the country’s belief in working together.
He added that the IMF expects India to remain the fastest-growing major economy.
