The possibilities of space are limitless and we have a collective responsibility for it. Modi said, India's vision is based on Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam i.e. one earth, one family, one future. This feeling should go beyond the earth also. We invite France and other countries of the world to join India in its next space mission.

Modi said, we support a safe and sustainable space sector based on international laws. Scientific data should be used openly and honestly toward a common goal. India's space journey reflects this thinking. This space summit being held in Paris should send a clear message that we will discover together, innovate together and together protect space for the entire humanity and future generations.
Talking about Indian space research, Modi said that ISRO's technology and partnerships are useful not only for India but for the entire world. Behind this global trust is the hard work and dedication of several generations of Indian scientists, engineers and technicians. By working day and night he has built the reputation of ISRO. Chandrayaan-3 made India the first country to land near the south pole of the Moon. Aditya-L1 is exploring the secrets of the Sun. Last year an Indian astronaut visited the International Space Station. In the future, we aim to establish an Indian space station by 2035 and send an Indian to the Moon by 2040.
