Indian Prime Minister Stresses Empowerment Over Control at Global Summit

During the opening address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the true purpose of power is to empower others. He distinguished between the power to dominate and the power to enable, urging leaders to move beyond personal success toward collective achievement.

Modi’s speech set the tone for the forum, where participants such as former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, foreign‑policy adviser Lindsey Howard and Norwegian businessman Dr. Øyvind Bjeland exchanged ideas on AI, geopolitics and sustainable economic development.
