Indian PM embarks on his longest international tour in a decade, visiting Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil for BRICS, and Namibia.
On July 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set off on an eight-day, five-nation diplomatic circuit: Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.
His visit begins in Ghana (July 2–3), followed by parliamentary speech and an award in Trinidad (July 3–4), continuing with trade talks in Argentina (July 4–5).
In Brazil from July 5–8, Modi will address the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, reaffirming India’s growing role in the bloc. The tour concludes in Namibia (July 8–9), focusing on bilateral agreements.
This marks Modi’s longest foreign tour since 2016. The agenda mixes economic diplomacy—trade, energy, and investment—with strategic outreach to the Global South. His terms indicate India’s pivot toward plural-center alliances.
Analysts see it as a calculated bid to elevate India’s global stature while balancing ties with the West and increasingly assertive global players.
