Manmohan Singh Hope Quotations

Regional economic cooperation in South Asia has fallen far short of our expectations and the dreams of our founding fathers, ... It remains far behind more successful examples in both Asia and other regions of the world. I sincerely hope that SAFTA comes into force by January 1, 2006, but even this will represent only a modest beginning in terms of our goals.

The president explained his position and it is my hope that a fair decision will be taken.

We have not given up and we still hope we can sort out this issue,

We hope to raise our co-operation in the aviation sector,

I very much hope that Australia, as a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, would endorse what I and President Bush have worked out. This is an agreement, which helps the cause of nuclear non-proliferation. India has an impeccable record of not entering into any unauthorized arms proliferation.

Through this deal we hope to raise our bilateral economic partnership and our interaction in the civil aviation sectors to new heights,
