Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going on a visit to three countries this week.
He will also participate in the G-20 summit held in Brazil. For this, he will be on a tour of Brazil between 18-19 November.
There the Prime Minister will present India’s stand on issues of global importance at the G20 Summit and emphasize the outcomes of the New Delhi Declaration.
After that he will travel to African country Nigeria and South American country Guyana. The Ministry of External Affairs has given this information in a release.
PM Modi’s main event during his three-nation visit will be to attend the G-20 summit to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on November 18-19.
India is part of the G-20 triumvirate along with Brazil, the current chair of the G-20, and South Africa, which will host next year’s summit.
The statement said that before Brazil, Prime Minister Modi will visit Nigeria on 16-17 November. The Ministry of External Affairs said that this will be the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to this African country in the last 17 years.
PM Modi is visiting Nigeria on the invitation of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
During this visit, apart from reviewing the strategic partnership between India and Nigeria, PM Modi will also discuss ways forward to enhance bilateral relations.
During this two-day visit, he will also address a meeting of the Indian community. India and Nigeria have been strategic partners since 2007, with growing economic, energy and defense cooperation.
About 200 Indian companies have invested more than $27 billion in Nigeria.
Similarly, Prime Minister Modi will be on a state visit to Guyana from 19 to 21 November. This will be the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister here since 1968.
This visit is taking place on the invitation of President Mohammad Irfan Ali. Modi will hold bilateral discussions with Ali on this visit. Apart from this he will meet senior leaders of Guyana and will also address the Parliament and a gathering of NRIs.
While in Guyana, Modi will also attend the second CARICOM-India Summit in Georgetown and hold meetings with leaders of CARICOM member states to enhance India’s ties with the region.
Let us tell you that in 2023, Guyana’s President Ali came to India as the chief guest at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Madhya Pradesh and was honored with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman.
The big thing is that about 40 percent of the population in Guyana is Indians. Both India and Guyana were part of the British Empire during the colonial period.
