While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I hope these agreements translate into tangible benefits for ordinary citizens. Sometimes these high-level talks remain just on paper. Let's see actual implementation in skill development and IT sectors.

Interesting partnership. Mongolia's rare earth minerals could be crucial for India's tech industry. Smart move by PM Modi to secure these resources while building cultural bridges.
