Insisting that the COVID-19 crisis should be turned into an opportunity to create an '<keyword id="9210258" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="atmanirbhar-bharat">Atmanirbhar Bharat</keyword>', Prime Minister Narendra <keyword id="6354642" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Modi">Modi</keyword> on Thursday said this is the time to make bold decisions and investments. Addressing the 95th annual plenary session of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata through video conference, he said, steps have to be taken to ensure that products imported from abroad are manufactured in the country. "In the last five-six years, India's goal of self- reliance has been paramount in the policy and practice of the country. The COVID-19 crisis gave us lessons on how to speed up efforts in that direction...This is not the time for a conservative approach; this is time for bold decisions and investments. "This also is the time to move from command and control economy to plug-and-play and to build a competitive global supply chain." he said. While noting that people-centric, people-driven and planet-friendly development has become part of the BJP-led Central government's way of governance, the prime minister said recent decisions by the Centre had freed the farmers and rural economy from years of "slavery" as they now have the freedom to sell their produce anywhere in the country. "India is fighting multiple challenges along with COVID-19, including floods, locust attack, earthquakes...We have to turn crises into opportunity for creating an Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat and take steps to ensure that products which we import from elsewhere are manufactured in India," Modi said. Quoting Swami Vivekananda, who had once written that Indians should produce for themselves and find markets in other countries, the prime minister said they had for long wished that the country to become self-reliant in areas like medical equipment manufacturing, defence manufacturing, coal and minerals, edible oils and many more. Lauding the resolve of the countrymen to turn disaster into opportunity, the prime minister said the pandemic "will be a turning point of the country". "We have to make it a big turning point.....a turning point for creating a self-reliant India," he said. The prime minister also said that the country has already ushered in several reforms like changing the definition of MSMEs, decriminalising certain things (under the Companies Act), introducing Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, bringing in more competition in coal mining, altering the APMC and the Essential Commodities Act. Modi said that time has come to revive Bengal's pre- eminence in manufacturing. "It is the government's initiative to help the east and the north-east where Kolkata can emerge as the fulcrum.... to lead the entire development process," he added. He also urged MSMEs to enter the solar energy sector. Modi said banking services have now reached the "have nots". Initiatives such as Jandhan and Aadhaar have made it possible to reach necessary support to millions of people without leakage.

Modi and Trump had a 25-minute conversation on June 2 and among the tops discussed was the India-China border dispute. “The two leaders also exchanged view on other topical issues, such as the COVID-19 situation in the two countries, the situation on the India-China border, and the need for reforms in the World Health Organisation (WHO),” said the statement issued by the central government. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76170917" title="Narendra Modi and Donald Trump discuss India-China border dispute ahead of New Delhi-Beijing negotiations on June 6" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> The new triangle between India, China and the US Tanvi Madan, a senior fellow that Brookings Institute, noted that it was “<a href="https://twitter.com/tanvi_madan/status/1267871396325216257">interesting</a>” that the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) explicitly mentioned the India-China situation — something that isn’t usually the norm for bilateral matters. India and China are set to engage in negotiations on June 6 between senior military officers. Sources told the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/india-china-border-standoff-reaches-lieutenant-general-level-military-negotiation/articleshow/76167405.cms">Indian Express</a> that the meeting will be led by the Corps Commander of the Leh-based XIV Corps on India’s side. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76167405" title="India-China border standoff reaches Lieutenant-General level military negotiation" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “We have been earnestly implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, strictly abiding by the relevant agreements signed by the two countries, and committed to safeguarding China's territorial sovereignty and security as well as peace and stability in the China-India border areas,” said Lijian. According to <a href="https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/china-revisionism-hongkong-india-borders-67086/">Harsh V. Pant</a>, Director of Studies and Head Strategic Studies Programme at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), Beijing is softening the India-China border dispute as the situation in Hong Kong is becoming more precarious. “New Delhi’s firm military and diplomatic posturing has made it clear to Beijing that India is in for the long haul,” he said. Meanwhile, tensions between the US and China have been rising, especially after Trump accused the WHO of having ‘dangerous bias’ towards China. India is presently on the chair on the Executive Board of the multilateral health organisation and will likely play a critical role in seeking accountability on the issue.
