Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed for Buenos Aires on Friday, marking the third leg of his five-nation tour, after concluding a significant two-day visit to Trinidad and Tobago.
PM Modi travels to Argentina at the invitation of President Javier Milei, where he is scheduled to hold bilateral talks aimed at strengthening cooperation in key sectors such as defence, agriculture, mining, oil and gas, renewable energy, trade, investment, and people-to-people ties.
During his stay in Trinidad and Tobago, Prime Minister Modi addressed the nation’s Parliament and held wide-ranging discussions with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. The talks focused on enhancing collaboration in areas including disaster management, climate change, defence, healthcare, technology, and agricultural research.
“Both leaders agreed to deepen economic ties and enhance cooperation across various domains,” the Prime Minister’s Office stated on X.
A highlight of the visit was the ceremonial conferral of ‘The Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’—the nation’s highest civilian honour—on PM Modi. Expressing his gratitude, Modi said, “This honour symbolises the eternal friendship between our two countries. At every step, one can witness the cultural connect between our nations.”
In a symbolic gesture under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign, PM Modi and PM Persad-Bissessar planted a neem tree at the historic Red House, the seat of Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament.
Following his Argentina visit, PM Modi is set to attend the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil from July 5 to 8. The final leg of his July 2–9 tour will take him to Namibia, where he will address the country’s Parliament.
The Prime Minister’s multi-nation journey includes stops in Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia, underscoring India’s commitment to deepening global partnerships.
