Narendra Modi And of your distinguished delegation.”
We have done miracles since then

The last time you were here, we, both of us, were on the Mediterranean coast, and I said, why don’t we take off our shoes and go into the water? … We didn’t walk on the water, but we’ve done miracles since then. Because what we have done is we have doubled our trade, tripled our cooperation, quadrupled our understanding.”
