PM at inauguration of India's pavilion at TIF: Greece leaving the crisis behind it
"It is not by chance that India is the honoured country at this year's Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), now that Greece is leaving the crisis behind it and its central slogan is growth everywhere, growth for all," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Saturday as he inaugurated India's pavilion at the 84th TIF.
The prime minister noted that India had doubled its GDP and the per capital income of its citizens in the last 10 years, with hundreds of millions of Indians now emerging from poverty to produce new wealth.
"We can learn mutual lessons on how growth can be for everyone and go hand in hand with solidarity," Mitsotakis said and quoted the economist Amartya Sen's definition of poverty as a "deprivation of human capabilities", noting that his own goal is to generously hand out a wealth of opportunities.
