New Delhi, July 10 (UNI) As Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned after wrapping up a five-nation diplomatic tour, the BJP termed it a "highly productive and successful" visit that has set a new era in India’s international relations — strategic, cultural, and economic.

Addressing a press briefing here, BJP national spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi highlighted the key outcomes of the PM’s diplomatic tour to Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.

There are three major takeaways from the tour, the BJP MP said, pointing out, “The Prime Minister has unequivocally established India’s stance on terrorism at the BRICS summit, emphasizing that perpetrators and victims of terror cannot be equated — a significant diplomatic achievement.”

Calling the tour an economic success, Trivedi further noted India’s strengthened economic engagements with resource-rich countries such as Ghana and Namibia, where India has entered into agreements that promise to bolster future economic growth. “This marks a crucial step in securing vital minerals and metals,” he added.

Culturally and socially, the visit reinforced India’s emotional connect with the Indian diaspora in these nations. Dr. Trivedi pointed to the example of the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who he said hails from Buxar in Bihar. The visit has elevated India’s global role through enhanced cooperation with Africa and Global South countries, he added.

The PM has unequivocally and categorically established the matter of terrorism at the BRICS.

“The perpetrators of terror and victims of terror cannot be equated. This was our diplomatic success. Then, countries like Ghana and Namibia, which are rich in metals and minerals, where India has entered into an agreement with these countries, which is important for the future. It is important from an economic aspect.

“Also, the presence of the Indian diaspora in these countries, and the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, who is from Buxar, has taken India's emotional and social connect to a new dimension. So, strategically, culturally, economically, this visit of the PM has set up a new era in India's role at the international level, with cooperation of the African and southern countries," concluded the BJP leader.
