India doing better in every economic indicator says PM Narendra Modi during Malaysia visit

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on said that India was doing well in almost every economic indicator.

He said India and Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) were natural partners.

"Our ties date back to ancient times," he said.

"I have been saying that the 21st century belongs to Asia. I say this because of the track record of Asean countries," Modi said amid loud applause.
