Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the parliaments of Ghana, Namibia, and Trinidad & Tobago ahead of his 5-nation visit, senior officials from the ministry of external affairs confirmed on Monday.
The visit, beginning on July 2, will include participation in the Brice Summit in Brazil and bilateral meetings with leaders from Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina and Namibia to further strengthen diplomatic and strategic ties.
Dammu Ravi, secretary (economic relations), said this will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Ghana in 30 years. While in Ghana, PM Modi will hold delegation-level talks focused on reviewing and expanding the bilateral relationship.
"The next day, Prime Minister will be addressing the parliament and he also will be interacting with the Indian community there, which is about 15,000 in number", reported ANI quoting Ravi.
Modi is scheduled to arrive in Namibia on July 9. Secretary Ravi called the visit significant, as it comes after a 27-year gap.
“The substance of the relationship is, again, as you know, that India and Namibia have had a very strong relationship for a very long time,” secretary Ravi added as reported by ANI.
Neena Malhotra, secretary (south), briefed on the PM’s visit to Trinidad and Tobago, which is taking place at the invitation of prime minister Kamala Prasad Bisessar.
This will mark PM Modi’s first trip to Trinidad and Tobago and the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister since 1999.
"In a special gesture, PM Modi will also address the joint session of the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. The visit is expected to strengthen the bilateral partnership across key areas and reaffirm our enduring ties with the Caribbean," said Dr Malhotra.
She described the PM's address to Parliament as "symbolic of our strong parliamentary traditions as well as democratic values."
