PM Modi's artful gifts for Ghanaian dignitaries

PM Modi just wrapped up a historic trip to Ghana—the first Indian prime minister to visit in over 30 years.
His visit focused on boosting ties in trade, energy, and defense, and he was honored with Ghana's highest civilian award, the "Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana."

TL;DR

Modi addressed Ghana's parliament

While there, Modi addressed Ghana's Parliament, calling India-Ghana relations "sweet" (with a nod to their famous Sugar Loaf Pineapple) and reaffirmed India's support for Ghana's growth.
He also gifted local leaders items showcasing Indian craftsmanship, like Bidri vases from Karnataka and a Kashmiri Pashmina shawl.
The trip is set to open new doors for partnership between the two countries.
