"We believe in sharing our experiences and expertise with the world and learning from them as well. Our Digital Public Infrastructure solutions can improve the lives of citizens around the world," the Prime Minister said.

The event was hosted by International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), under the aegis of the Government of India in collaboration with GIFT City and Bloomberg on December 3 and 4, 2021.

Indonesia, South Africa and the UK are partner countries in the first edition of the Forum, the Prime Minister`s Office informed in a press release.
