"Yesterday, Chandrayaan-3 made a soft landing on the southern pole of the Moon. This is not just an achievement for the Indian scientists but it is an achievement for the whole community of scientists worldwide. The area that India targetted for the landing was a place where no other country has attempted to land. Science helped us to reach a very difficult terrain. This in itself is a huge success for science and scientists," PM Modi further said.

After this summit, the Prime Minister will visit Athens in Greece on August 25.
