00:00The first few days have gone extremely well.
00:03There have been some glitches, some organizational things, these things happen in a large event.
00:07But by and large, what has been impressive is, first of all, the attendance.
00:11As you said, a number of presidents, prime ministers and world leaders are here.
00:15As far as the French Rafal is concerned, parts of it are being manufactured in India.
00:20And that is a very important aspect of the deal because it is part of strengthening our defence
00:27but also increasing our self-reliance in the defense sector.
00:30Defense is important for India, not because we want to go to war,
00:35but because we don't want others to think that we are so weak that they can be tempted to go
00:40to war.
00:40It is a defensive defense, literally, and that's what we are working for.
00:45I support the government on that.
00:47Sir, AI Summit is going to go to Delhi.
00:49French President, he has been approved in the UPI system in Bhairat.
01:03I think, though I have not had the chance to go to the summit today, I am speaking there tomorrow,
01:09what I understand is that these first couple of days have gone extremely well.
01:13There have been some glitches, some organizational things, these things happen in a large event.
01:17But by and large, what has been impressive is, first of all, the attendance, as you said,
01:22a number of presidents, prime ministers, and world leaders are here,
01:25and they've come with a strong message of wanting to see a newly integrated world in AI development
01:33where the impact upon society will be the principal preoccupation,
01:38and India has clearly led the drive in this area.
01:41As far as the French Rafale is concerned, parts of it are being manufactured in India,
01:47and that is a very important aspect of the deal because it is part of strengthening our defense
01:53but also increasing our self-reliance in the defense sector.
01:57So all of these are very important developments.
02:00I believe that defense is important for India, not because we want to go to war,
02:05but because we don't want others to think that we are so weak that they can be tempted to go
02:10to war.
02:10It is a defensive defense, literally, and that's what we are working for.
02:15So I support the government on that.
02:17Thank you.
