Billionaire investor Ray Dalio hailed India, saying it is “on the brink of the fastest growth” after his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his state visit to the United States. He also praised Modi stating that India has witnessed “the biggest transformations” under his leadership, drawing a comparison between Modi and India to Deng Xiaoping and China in the early 1980s. Dalio further said that the challenges within China and the US, as well as the challenges between these two countries, place Modi in a unique position to influence the dynamics of the world order by shaping the engagements of the non-aligned world with these leading global powers.
