In her interaction with the envoys, the President observed that they represented nations spanning different geographical zones, and with whom India enjoys friendly relations. The President said that India is a country with a wide diversity and offers to many, areas for strengthening mutual cooperation. Developing good relations with nations is one of the main objectives of India's foreign policy, the President said. The President also stated that India believes that promotion of mutual understanding between peoples is essential for world peace, which in turn is conducive for economic growth and progress of nations. She mentioned that in the contemporary world, prospects of peace are threatened by forces of extremism and terrorism. Fighting terrorism requires a firm commitment by the international community to act collectively and decisively. Drugs, gun-running and piracy, with their deep links to terrorism, add to the complexities faced while dealing with terrorism, she emphasized. The President also said that the global economy is recovering from the financial crisis of 2008-09, but the challenges of sustaining growth remains.
