Modi kicks off 3-nation trip, starts with Jordan
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in Jordan to begin a packed three-country tour that also includes Ethiopia and Oman.
While in Jordan, he'll meet King Abdullah II for talks on everything from fighting terrorism and boosting food security to the ongoing Gaza crisis and ramping up defense ties.
Why this visit matters
Jordan isn't just another stop—it's a key partner for India in West Asia.
The two countries trade nearly $2.9 billion a year, and India relies on Jordan for crucial fertilizer imports.
Plus, Indian businesses have invested big in Jordan's industrial zones.
With both nations working together against radicalization and strengthening defense cooperation, Modi's visit is all about deepening these important connections at a tense time for the region.
