Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called on Jordanian companies to invest in his country, saying they can achieve good returns on their investments as the country is growing by more than 8%. The Indian news agency Press Trust of India reported that Modi said in his speech at the Indian-Jordanian Business Forum in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Tuesday that India will soon become the world's third-largest economy and offers Jordanian companies the opportunity to be part of this growth story. Modi added that India's high GDP figures are due to productivity-based governance and innovation-driven growth policies. The Prime Minister said that while numbers matter in business, he came to Jordan to build a long-term relationship between the two countries. Modi added: "The relationship between India and Jordan is one that brings together historical trust and future economic opportunities." The Prime Minister confirmed that India is growing very fast and is opening new doors for Jordanian companies as well. He said that Indian companies in Jordan can manufacture medicines and medical devices, which will benefit the Jordanian people, and that the country can also become a trusted hub for West Asia and Africa. Modi arrived in the Jordanian capital yesterday, Monday, on a two-day visit at the invitation of King Abdullah II. This is the first stop on the Indian Prime Minister's four-day tour, which also includes Ethiopia and Oman.
