"We in our country hear about India and China becoming new super powers and we really wish that India must become a super power as soon as possible because it will be in our interest," Jugnauth said while inaugurating a seminar on the development of Bhojpuri language at Banaras Hindu University here.
Calling for an enduring and stronger relationship with New Delhi, he said, "We have an unbreakable blood relationship with India, and so with its development and increasing strength, we will automatically be benefited.
For India to become a super power, he said, a vision and determination is required and if this country moves forward with a vision and determination and fills the gap between the development of urban and rural areas, there is no reason why it can not be a super power.
Citing the example of his own country, Jugnauth said, "at one stage when I first became the Prime Minister of Mauritius in 1982, the entire western world declared us as 'economically unviable' country... but we did not lose hope ...and today we are a fully developed country."
Earlier, the President of Mauritius reached here on a two days' trip in the afternoon, from Lucknow.
During his visit to the holy city, he will attend the Bhojpuri literature and art exhibition functions.
