I have invited him to India for the G20 summit in September," PM Modi had said.The leaders of the QUAD group have met on four occasions earlier and their next meeting will be held in Australia.

And that's something about his quality and that's why he's so loved around the world, too," he said.Praising India's progress on the economic front he said, "India is now a country regarded as having entrepreneurs. It's regarded as a country where you have a go at what you are doing and you'll get achievements with rewards from your hard work. And that's what I know Mr Modi has put in place, is the framework, that if you got to work hard, there's going to benefit behind that."Sadbhawana event is an initiative started by NID Foundation taking the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' where he called the whole world as 'one family', to every corner of the world.The event was attended by religious leaders, intellectuals, scholars, preachers and researchers."This was a fabulous event to have all the religious leaders together with one voice of peace and harmony.
