A homecoming in Trinidad and Tobago as Global South continues to takes centrestage
IN a visit rich with symbolism, historical resonance, and strategic messaging, Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first Indian leader in over two decades to visit Trinidad and Tobago and the first ever to address its Parliament.
During his two-day trip to the Caribbean island, Modi was conferred with its highest civilian honour, The Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, in recognition of his global leadership and unwavering support for the Global South.
Speaking from the historic Red House, the Parliament of Trinidad, Modi's messaging blended shared cultural pride, democratic values, and development diplomacy. "Democracy in India is not just a political system, it is a way of life," he said, highlighting India's civilizational ethos and drawing parallels with Trinidad and Tobago's democratic journey.
