PM Modi Embarks on Historic Five-Nation Tour to Strengthen Ties Across Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean
New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a landmark five-nation diplomatic tour beginning Wednesday, aimed at deepening India’s strategic and economic partnerships across Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The eight-day visit will take the Prime Minister to Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia, underscoring India’s growing global outreach beyond traditional geographies.
This ambitious multilateral engagement begins with PM Modi’s first-ever visit to Ghana, marking the first trip by an Indian Prime Minister to the West African nation in over 30 years.
Historic Stop in Ghana
From July 2 to 3, PM Modi will be in Accra, where he will receive full ceremonial honours upon arrival at Kotoka International Airport. His official itinerary includes bilateral discussions with Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama at Jubilee House, culminating in a joint press address and a state dinner hosted in his honor.
The visit aims to revitalize India-Ghana ties, with both nations expected to explore expanded cooperation in trade, energy, defense, and development partnerships, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). India has long been a developmental partner to Ghana, supporting capacity-building efforts and investing in key sectors.
Expanding Global Footprint
Following Ghana, the Prime Minister will continue to Trinidad and Tobago, a key partner in the Caribbean with a large Indian diaspora. He will then travel to Argentina, reinforcing India’s engagement with Latin America.
The visit to Brazil will center on PM Modi’s participation in the 17th BRICS Summit, scheduled for 2025. The summit is expected to address global economic reform, climate change, and digital innovation among member nations.
The final leg of the tour will take PM Modi to Namibia, where cooperation in mineral resources, wildlife conservation, and renewable energy is expected to feature prominently in discussions.
This tour signals New Delhi’s broader foreign policy shift toward enhancing south-south cooperation and tapping into emerging economies for strategic and economic collaboration.
