\nIndia is striving to become a USD 5 trillion economy and the world\u2019s third largest consumer market by 2025, President Ram Nath Kovind has said as he highlighted investment opportunities in the country.<\/p>\n
Kovind, the first Indian president to travel to Greece in 11 years, arrived here on Saturday on the first leg of his three-nation tour.<\/p>\n

Kovind praised overseas Indians for playing an important role in improving bilateral relations.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreece and India presented the ideals of civilisation and culture in the ancient world. The relations between the two countries are very old and deep. Greek historian Megasthenes introduced India to the world through his book \u2018Indica\u2019,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working towards making India a USD 5 trillion economy and the world\u2019s third largest consumer market by 2025. According to the World Bank and IMF, our growth rate is going to be high,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Currently India\u2019s economy is estimated at USD 2.5 trillion.<\/p>\n
Kovind said India had a very strong position in the world with the perspective of democracy, demographic divided and demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud of our overseas Indians and their successes. Today there are plenty of opportunities for business, innovation and investment in India. I hope that whatever you can do for the development of India for the motherland, you will do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
