Modi Says India and Netherlands Are Building a Future-Ready Supply Chain Amid a Decade of Global Crises
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a community event in The Hague on Saturday, warned that the world is living through what he called a "decade of disasters" — a period marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, rising geopolitical conflicts, and a deepening energy crisis. He cautioned that unless these challenges are addressed urgently, the development gains of recent decades could unravel, pushing millions back into poverty. Modi was in the Netherlands as part of a five-nation tour running from May 15 to 20, which began with a stop in the United Arab Emirates. Addressing the Indian diaspora, he used the occasion to outline the growing strategic and economic ties between India and the Netherlands, with a particular focus on supply chain resilience. "In such times, the world is talking about a resilient supply chain, and for that, India and the Netherlands are making endeavours to establish a trusted and transparent future-ready supply chain," Modi said, framing bilateral cooperation as a direct response to global disruption.
