PM Modi's 5-Nation tour prioritizes counter-terrorism, security, rare earths
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is heading out on a packed five-nation trip from July 2-9, visiting Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.
A big moment will be the BRICS Summit in Brazil (July 6-7), where leaders are expected to strongly condemn the recent Pahalgam terror attack and push for a united stand against terrorism.
Exploring new frontiers in global diplomacy
This trip isn't just about diplomacy—Modi's looking to boost India's defense partnerships, trade deals, and secure key minerals like lithium and cobalt that power everything from your phone batteries to electric cars.
He'll also address parliaments in Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, and Namibia—firsts for an Indian PM—showing India wants deeper connections with the Global South.
Plus, expect tech moves like expanding India's UPI payment system in Namibia.
