New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday left for Davos to participate in the World Economic Forum (WEF) where he said he will share his vision for India’s future engagements with the international community.

The prime minister had said in his departure statement on Sunday that India’s engagement with the outside world in the recent years has become “truly and effectively multi-dimensional covering the political, economic, people to people, security and other spheres”.

“At Davos, I look forward to sharing my vision for India’s future engagement with the international community,” he said.

Modi, who will deliver the opening plenary address at the WEF summit on Tuesday, said he is also looking forward to separate bilateral meetings with Swiss president Alain Berset and Swedish prime minister Stefan Lofven in Davos.

“I am confident that these bilateral meetings would be fruitful and give a boost to our relations with these countries and further strengthen economic engagement,” he said.

Modi will host a dinner for global CEOs on Monday. On Tuesday, he will interact with global business community members, besides delivering his keynote address.
