London, UK, 31st July: Lord Rami Ranger, a distinguished Member of the UK House of Lords, today lauded Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, stating that “No other leader has brought as much honour and pride to their people as the current Indian Prime Minister… has brought to Indians all over the world.”

In a statement shared widely, Lord Ranger highlighted what he described as a transformative period for India under PM Modi’s leadership. He asserted that the Prime Minister has “infused the country with new energy and optimism” and successfully “lifted millions out of poverty.”

Lord Ranger also pointed to India’s significant global contributions, including its space achievements with Mars and Moon landings, and its crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic. He stated that India’s “contribution during COVID saved millions of citizens of poorer countries who could not afford Western vaccines.” He further recognized India’s substantial “Contribution to the UNO with the most significant peacekeeping force.”

Highlighting India’s growing diplomatic influence, Lord Ranger noted PM Modi’s leadership of the G20, where he “invited leaders from Africa to signify the importance of African nations.”

A particularly emphasized achievement by Lord Ranger was the establishment of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the United Kingdom. He called this partnership historic, signifying “equality between a former colony and its colonial ruler,” an outcome he noted followed over 200 years of colonial rule. Lord Ranger predicted this FTA would be “one of the most significant trade agreements,” given that it links the world’s fourth and fifth-largest economies. He believes it will create a “win-win situation for the citizens of both great nations, which represent the oldest and largest democracies in the world.”

Concluding his remarks, Lord Ranger underscored that friendship between nations thrives when they share similar values, noting that both India and the UK are “secular and democratic countries with the rule of law at the heart of their governance.”
