India is poised to become a $5 trillion dollar economy by 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he addressed world leaders and global CEOs at the opening session of the World Economic Forum in the snowed-in Swiss mountain resort of Davos, inviting investors to "Come to India."

At a gathering of 70 world leaders and over 3,000 global industry leaders, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today warned that globalisation is facing a challenge from the "rising forces of protectionism" - a comment that's is seen as flagging the protectionist stance of the US, under the Donald Trump administration.

It has been a long time since an Indian Prime Minister last visited Davos. Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonstrated just how long, as he delivered his debut speech at the opening of the World Economic Forum.
