Joining the second day of the centenary celebrations of Andhra Medical College (AMC) in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, the Vice President termed AP MedTech Zone in the city as one-of-its-kind facility that speaks volumes about Vizag's potential.
The Vice President noted that Visakhapatnam is suitable for making high tech medical equipment, a comprehensive exploration would be worked towards this front so that 'Bharat' would emerge as a supplier of med tech equipment to the rest of the world.

The country now commands global respect. India is positioned to set global agendas on vital issues."

The summits were held with effective and commendable coordination of the Centre and state governments. This kind of synergetic approach has made the world wonder that India is a home to a vibrant democracy," he conveyed.

"India is now looked upon as a problem-solver for the challenges of our times, an agenda-setter to resolve vital global issues," he reiterated.
