New York/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called the Indian diaspora "the country's strongest brand ambassadors" addressing thousands of Indian-Americans at a community event at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island in New York, the United States.
Modi said, "Indian Diaspora have always been the country's strongest brand ambassadors."
"Wherever I go, I mix with all people considering my family. Understanding diversity, living it, incorporating it into our lives...this is in our culture," the Prime Minister, who is in the US for the Quad Summit and the Summit of the Future, added.
Stressing on unity in diversity, Modi said, "We have multiple languages but our feelings are the same. The feeling is Indianness."

'AI means America-India spirit'
"For the world, AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. But I believe AI also represents the America-India spirit," the Prime Minister, who returned to power back home in 2024 but with the support of allies, said.
The Prime Minister also reminded the Indian diaspora about the roadmap to Viksit Bharat, the goal his government aims to achieve by 2047.
