Narendra Modi leaves for three-nation tour, focus remains on G20 Summit in Brazil

Indian PM Narendra Modi on Saturday left for a three-nation tour when he will also visit Brazil to attend the G20 Summit.

"In Brazil, I will attend the 19th G-20 Summit as a Troika member. Last year, India’s successful Presidency elevated the G-20 to people’s G-20 and mainstreamed the priorities of the Global South into its Agenda. This year, Brazil has built upon India’s legacy," Modi said before leaving for the three-nation tour.

Modi said his three-nation visit will be an opportunity to build upon our Strategic Partnership that is based on shared belief in democracy and pluralism.

Modi is going to be the first Indian PM to visit Guyana in 50 years.

"During this visit, I will also join leaders from the Caribbean partner countries for the 2nd India-CARICOM Summit," Modi said.

Text of Indian PM Narendra Modi for departing for the three countries:

"I am embarking on a five day visit to Nigeria, Brazil and Guyana.

At the invitation of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, this will be my first visit to Nigeria, which is our close partner in the West African region. My visit will be an opportunity to build upon our Strategic Partnership that is based on shared belief in democracy and pluralism. I am also eagerly looking forward to meeting the Indian community and friends from Nigeria who have sent me warm welcome messages in Hindi.

 In Brazil, I will attend the 19th G-20 Summit as a Troika member. Last year, India’s successful Presidency elevated the G-20 to people’s G-20 and mainstreamed the priorities of the Global South into its Agenda. This year, Brazil has built upon India’s legacy. I look forward to meaningful discussions in keeping with our vision of "One Earth, One Family, One Future.” I will also use the opportunity to exchange views on furthering bilateral cooperation with several other leaders.

My visit to Guyana, at the invitation of H.E. President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, will be the first ever visit of an Indian Prime Minister in over 50 years. We will exchange views on giving strategic direction to our unique relationship, which is based on shared heritage, culture and values. I will also pay my respects to one of the oldest Indian diaspora, who migrated more than 185 years ago, and engage a fellow democracy, as I address their Parliament.

During this visit, I will also join leaders from the Caribbean partner countries for the 2nd India-CARICOM Summit. We have stood together through thick and thin. The Summit will enable us to renew historical ties and expand our cooperation into new domains."
