Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that India's voice is getting international recognition and the world listens to the ideas of the country on the International forum.
"Earlier, if India used to speak something on international forums, the world did not listen to India's words seriously. But today when India speaks something on international forums, the entire world listens with open ears," Singh said. Singh was addressing the convocation ceremony of Swami Ram Himalayan University in Dehradun on Saturday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday attended the customary meeting at Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's chamber at the end of the Winter Session.
