PM Modi to Strengthen India\u2019s Ties with Trinidad and Tobago<\/strong><\/p>\n New Delhi, June 30 \u2013 Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a significant visit to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) and Ghana this week. This trip highlights India\u2019s commitment to strengthening relationships with countries in the Global South, following the Global South Summit held during the G20.<\/p>\n PM Modi\u2019s trip includes five countries, with Ghana as the first stop on July 2-3, followed by Trinidad and Tobago. This will be his first visit to T&T as Prime Minister and marks the first bilateral visit from India at the Prime Minister level since 1999.<\/p>\n Both nations aim to broaden their collaboration in key areas such as pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, agriculture, and technology, in addition to promoting sports and cultural exchanges. <\/p>\n The visit is particularly meaningful as 2025 marks the 180th anniversary of Indian immigrants arriving in T&T. MEA Secretary Neena Malhotra emphasized the importance of this timing during a media briefing ahead of the trip.<\/p>\n During his visit, PM Modi plans to meet with President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to discuss ways to strengthen the bond between India and Trinidad and Tobago. He is also expected to address a joint session of T&T’s Parliament, which underscores the long-standing ties and democratic values shared between the two nations.<\/p>\n A vibrant Indian diaspora makes up about 40\u201345% of T&T’s population, maintaining strong cultural ties with India. The Prime Minister\u2019s address is viewed as a reminder of the shared democratic traditions.<\/p>\n Secretary Malhotra noted that both T&T leaders take pride in their Indian heritage, referring to themselves as "daughters of India." The Indian community in T&T is eager about the visit, and a large event for the diaspora is planned.<\/p>\n During this trip, several agreements will likely be signed to enhance bilateral cooperation, including initiatives in health care and capacity building. PM Modi has previously engaged with T&T leaders at various international summits, underscoring India’s ongoing interest in strengthening ties with the Caribbean.<\/p>\n In recent months, India has welcomed numerous high-level visitors from other Global South countries, further emphasizing its focus on building international partnerships.<\/p>\n PM Modi to Strengthen India\u2019s Ties with Trinidad and Tobago New Delhi, June 30 \u2013 Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a significant visit to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) and Ghana this week.
