In a landmark moment of India-Ghana ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Parliament of Ghana on Thursday and highlighted the "sweetness" of the relationship between the two countries, which he said was rooted in shared struggles. "The histories of India and Ghana bear the scars of colonial rule, but our spirits have always remained free and fearless. We draw strength and inspiration from our rich heritage. We take pride in our social, cultural and linguistic diversities. We built nations rooted in freedom, unity and dignity. Our relationship knows no bounds," PM Modi said.

"And with your permission, may I say, our friendship is sweeter than your famous sugarloaf pineapple," Prime Minister Modi said. He also highlighted the democratic political system of India.

"For us, democracy is not merely a system. It is a part of our fundamental values." The Prime Minister pointed out, "India has over 2,500 political parties," and repeated it after seeing the reaction from members of the Ghanaian Parliament.
