Going to Nigeria at the invitation of the Nigerian President
PM Modi is visiting Nigeria at the invitation of Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Recently the Ministry of External Affairs had given information about his visit. Economic Relations Secretary Dammu Ravi said in a statement that this visit from India is taking place after a gap of 17 years.
For the first time in Nigeria after 17 years, there is an Indian Prime Minister.
The Ministry of External Affairs said that PM Modi's visit to Nigeria is special in many ways because for the first time after 17 years, an Indian Prime Minister is visiting this African country. Earlier, Manmohan Singh had visited Nigeria in October 2007. During this period, a strategic partnership was established between the two countries.
There will be a welcome at the President's Villa tomorrow
He will be welcomed at the Presidential Villa on November 17 for the Prime Minister's program. He will then hold a one-on-one meeting with President Tinubu followed by delegation-level talks to review the bilateral relationship and all its aspects.
Will also visit Brazil and Guyana
After Nigeria, PM Modi will reach Brazil on 8-19 November. After this, Prime Minister Modi will be on a state visit to the South American country Guyana from 19-21 November. PM Modi's visit to Guyana is special in the sense that it will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister since 1968.
Modi-Jinping can meet in Brazil
Less than a month after the BRICS meeting in Russia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi may meet Chinese President Xi Jinping again in Brazil. Both the leaders can hold another meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit. Government sources say that both sides are exploring the possibility of meeting on the sidelines of the summit.
Modi will also meet Biden
On the sidelines of the G-20 conference, Modi will also meet US President Joe Biden. Since there has been a change of government in America and Donald Trump will take charge of the presidency in place of Biden in January, there is no significant diplomatic activity regarding this bilateral meeting. Government sources say that Trump's stance on many important issues is different from Biden's, hence any country will wait for the arrival of the new government to reach any conclusion.
