Defence Minister Rajnath Singh emphasises strength for peace at Aero India 2025, promoting global cooperation and security.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, after inaugurating Aero India 2025 in Bengaluru on Monday (February 10, 2025), said that peace can never be achieved in a weak state of security, and only by being strong, we will be able to work for a better world order.
Citing global uncertainties, he said that as a big country, India has always been an advocate of peace and stability.
“For us, there is no Indian security or Indian peace in isolation. Security, stability and peace are shared constructs that transcend national borders. The presence of our friends from foreign countries [at Aero India] is a testimony to the fact that our partners share our vision of One earth, One family, One future,” Mr. Singh said.
Speaking after inaugurating the Aero India 2025, he stressed the need to work together to deal with today’s uncertainties and the new challenges that are emerging in today’s perspectives.
“Peace can never be achieved in a weak state of security. The banyan tree of peace can stand only on the roots of strength. I believe that we all have to be strong together, only then will we be able to ensure peace. Only by being strong, we will be able to work for a better world order,” he said.
Further noting that in this environment of global uncertainty, India is a big country where there is peace and prosperity, the Defence Minister said, “If you assess the history of India, you will find that we have neither attacked any country, nor have we been involved in any great power rivalry.” “As a big country, India has always been an advocate of peace and stability. And when I am saying this, it is not just a matter of saying, but it is a matter of our fundamental ideal,” he said.
