Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to Delhi on Thursday morning after concluding a highly successful five-nation diplomatic tour to Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the week-long journey was marked by “productive and successful” engagements across regions, highlighting India’s growing influence in the Global South.

During the tour, PM Modi addressed three national parliaments—in Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, and Namibia—taking his total to 17 speeches in foreign legislatures, equaling the combined record of all previous Congress Prime Ministers.

The tour also brought a series of historic recognitions. Ghana awarded PM Modi the Order of the Star of Ghana, while Brazil presented its highest honor, the Grand Collar of the National Order of the Southern Cross. In Trinidad & Tobago, Modi became the first foreign leader to receive The Order of the Republic, and in Namibia, he was honored with the Order of the Most Ancient Welwitschia Mirabilis. These marked his 27th international awards and the fourth during this tour alone.

In Parliament addresses, he emphasized themes of democracy, digital cooperation, healthcare partnerships, and deep-rooted cultural ties. In Trinidad, he stood beside a Speaker’s Chair gifted by India in 1968, symbolizing enduring friendship. In Namibia, he received a standing ovation from lawmakers amid chants of “Modi, Modi.”

This high-impact tour reflects India’s expanding global footprint, as the nation prepares to lead the BRICS bloc in 2026 and deepens its strategic ties with Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
