NEW DELHI, Jun 1: As India’s diplomatic representatives you should always remember that this country has taught people how to live, develop and advance together, President Pranab Mukherjee told a group of Indian Foreign Service (IFS) trainees here today.
Talking to the officer trainees, who called on him at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the President said as they had chosen to serve their country as its diplomatic representatives, it was important for them to remember that it was India that brought the gift of the greatest concept of universal acceptance to the world.
It gave the slogan of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) to humanity, he said.
“You must always remember that you are representatives of India, one of the oldest civilisations of the world which taught people how to live together, develop together and advance together,” Mukherjee said. (AGENCIES)
