“So, strategically, economically, and culturally, Prime Minister has set up a new era in India's role at the international level"

PM Modi Concludes Five-Nation Tour; BJP National Spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi addresses Media:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his five-nation tour covering Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia from July 2 to July 9, during which he also participated in the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil.

Following the tour, BJP National Spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi addressed a press conference, calling the visit a milestone in India's international engagement. He said the tour “has strategically, economically, and culturally set up a new era in India's role at the international level.”

Three Key Takeaways from the PM’s Tour

"I want to say categorically, after this immensely successful tour of the countries, there are three main takeaways. Prime Minister has unequivocally and categorically established the matter of terrorism at BRICS, and he has said that the perpetrators of terror and the victims of terror cannot be equated. So, this was our diplomatic success, and it was very important from a strategical point of view.”

From an economic perspective, India entered into agreements with mineral- and metal-rich countries.

He said, “Then, countries like Ghana and Namibia, which are very rich in minerals and metals like uranium, copper, lithium, and rare earth metals, India has entered into an agreement which is very much required for the future. It helps us avoid over-dependence on any one country as far as these critical minerals and critical metals are concerned. So, it was very much required for our economical aspect.”

The PM’s visit to these countries, he said, has elevated India's emotional, cultural, and social connect with them.

“And the Indian diaspora, which has a vibrant and sizable presence in countries like Ghana and Trinidad and Tobago for the past one to two centuries, has been taken to a new height. As you know, the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Kamla Persad-Bissessar (Ji), is from the Buxar area of Bihar, and this has taken India's emotional, cultural, and social connect with those countries to a new dimension,” Trivedi added.

“So, strategically, economically, and culturally, this visit of the Prime Minister has set up a new era in India's role at the international level, with cooperation from African and southern countries. Previously, with Argentina and even during earlier visits to Mexico, our strategy of aligning and engaging with the Global South has reached new heights."

PM Modi visited Ghana at the invitation of President H.E. John Dramani Mahama.
