Manmohan Singh
I believe that without looking at each other as rivals or as competitors, in a democratic India, operating in the framework of an open economy, an open society has, I think, some significance for developing countries, not only in Asia but outside Asia.
Manmohan Singh
Terrorists had the advantage of surprise.
Manmohan Singh
Life is never free of contradictions
Manmohan Singh

The death of distance. There is hardly any middle class family in India who doesn't have a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, a brother, a brother-in-law in the United States. That is a very powerful new bond.
Manmohan Singh
Pakistan should be a moderate Islamic state. That it should be a prosperous country is in India's interests, and it is in the world's interests.
Manmohan Singh
I do believe that the future of civilization belongs to those who would lay emphasis on working together instead of talking about clash of civilizations.
Manmohan Singh
There are partnerships based on principle. There are partnerships based on pragmatism. And fortunately, when it comes to Indo-American relations, both concentrations find a new robust phase of relationship, a multi-fasted relationship which I believe exists in the interests of both our countries.
Manmohan Singh

Manmohan Singh
The Chinese economy is growing at the rate of 9 percent the Indian economy growing at the rate of 8 percent - enormous I think opportunities for two-way flow of trade, technology and investment.
Manmohan Singh
China is very important. The future growth of China, China's influence is bound to rise.
Manmohan Singh
When I became finance minister in 1991, I discovered that the wealth tax rates income - there was taxation on wealth. It was so atrocious and so high that actually nobody could accumulate money in an honest way. I removed that tax, and the result was that Indian companies for the first time acquired an incentive to grow big, to grow rich.
Manmohan Singh
