Chennai: Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi Friday said India's foreign policy should be built on the foundation of our culture, tradition, strength, economy, trade, strategy and security.
Delivering the Nani Palkhivala memorial lecture here on "India and the World", Modi, while referring to the Indian freedom struggle, said Mahatma Gandhi gave importance to the moral dimension in conduct.
He stressed that the foreign policy should be drawn up with inputs from states and wondered why not give each Indian state one foreign country to develop better relationship.
