Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on a crucial three-nation tour, a diplomatic marathon designed to strengthen India's partnerships and amplify its voice on the world stage. The high-stakes journey will take him to Hiroshima, Japan, for the G7 Summit, followed by a historic visit to Papua New Guinea, and concluding with strategic talks in Australia.
First Stop: Hiroshima and the G7 Summit
Though India is not a member of the G7, PM Modi is attending the summit in the symbolic city of Hiroshima at the special invitation of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. His agenda is packed with critical global issues. He aims to rally support from the world's most advanced economies on tackling terrorism, ensuring global security, and addressing urgent challenges like climate change, food and energy security, and healthcare.
During the summit, PM Modi will hold one-on-one meetings with several world leaders. In a poignant gesture of peace, he will also unveil a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Hiroshima, a city that stands as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of war.
A Historic Visit to Papua New Guinea
From Japan, PM Modi will make a landmark visit to Port Moresby, becoming the first-ever Indian Prime Minister to visit Papua New Guinea. There, he will co-host the third summit of the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC) alongside his counterpart, Prime Minister James Marape.
This summit is a significant step in India's engagement with the region, bringing together leaders from 14 Pacific Island countries. The goal is to deepen relationships and bolster cooperation, reinforcing India's commitment to being a key development partner in the strategically vital Indo-Pacific region.
Final Leg: Strengthening Bonds in Australia
The final destination is Sydney, Australia, where PM Modi will meet with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The two leaders will review the progress of the India-Australia strategic partnership and discuss ways to expand cooperation across various sectors.
A major highlight of the visit will be a massive community event where PM Modi will address thousands of members of the vibrant Indian diaspora. He is also scheduled to meet with prominent Australian CEOs to foster stronger business and economic ties between the two nations.
This intensive six-day tour underscores India's proactive foreign policy, aimed at building a network of strong alliances to navigate a complex and challenging global landscape.
