"Developing countries like India cannot progress alone. We will get phenomenal results if we join hands with people with technical expertise.
We should utilize our talent for getting the best results. When we started a joint venture with Russia, our industrialists were hesitant about the move. They were not too sure about the designs and spare parts of the missiles that we were supposed to make.
But today, within few years, our industrialists have done a fabulous job of designing. In fact, we have developed one of the world's first supersonic missiles, which is worth $ 8 billion."
