Modi honoured with portrait, unveils G20 plans

The portrait was gifted by Suhani Ahuja, ambassador of the Alfeco Foundation, to India's Consul General Mahesh Kumar as a gesture of deep friendship and shared values between India and South Africa. Shezi said the portrait was drawn with "profound respect," inspired by her background in architecture.

"Architecture teaches us to design for people ... this portrait was drawn with the hope that it becomes a symbol of unity and the spirit of Ubuntu that South Africa holds dear." Ahuja added that the gift recognizes not only Modi's leadership but also the cultural ties and collaborative future being built between the two nations.
