A Kuwaiti singer, who attended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to the Indian diaspora at the ‘Hala Modi’ event on Saturday, has grabbed everyone’s attention.

“India is well-equipped to meet the world’s demand for skilled talent …India also has the potential to become the skill capital of the world,” Modi emphasised and underlined that for many decades to come, India will remain the youngest country in the world.
