PM Modi Embarks on Five-Nation Tour, Longest Diplomatic Visit in a Decade

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has departed on an eight-day, five-nation diplomatic tour—his longest in nearly a decade—covering Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.

“In the coming days, I will be participating in a range of bilateral, multilateral, and other programmes across these five countries. I look forward to engaging with global leaders and discussing ways to make our planet better,” the Prime Minister said in an official statement.

The visit kicks off in Ghana, marking the first trip by an Indian prime minister to the West African nation in nearly 30 years. From there, Modi will travel to Trinidad and Tobago, the first such visit in 27 years.

The next stop is Argentina, where Modi will meet President Javier Milei. This visit is especially notable, as it will be the first bilateral visit by an Indian prime minister to Argentina in 57 years.

In Brazil, Modi will attend the 2025 BRICS Summit, where key global and regional issues are expected to be discussed with other member states.

The final leg of the tour will be in Namibia, also witnessing the first Indian prime ministerial visit in 27 years. Modi is scheduled to meet Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and will address the Namibian Parliament during his stay.

This journey marks Modi’s most extensive diplomatic outreach since his five-nation tour in 2016, which included visits to the United States, Mexico, Switzerland, Afghanistan, and Qatar.
