Modi’s 2025 Foreign Tour Targets Defence Deals, Africa Partnerships, and BRICS Diplomacy
Date : 01-07-2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s five-nation tour from July 2 to 9, 2025, marks a bold diplomatic stride aimed at strengthening India’s global footprint. Covering Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia, the tour focuses on three key pillars: defence cooperation, Africa outreach, and multilateral engagement.
In Brazil, India is expected to pitch its Akash missile systems, Garuda artillery, and coastal surveillance tech. Talks may also include support for Brazil’s Scorpene submarines and secure battlefield communications. Argentina, under President Javier Milei, is exploring rare earth mineral partnerships and defence collaboration—marking a new era in Indo-Argentine ties.
Africa remains a central focus. Modi’s visit to Ghana—the first by an Indian PM in over three decades—will spotlight vaccine manufacturing, agriculture, and digital infrastructure. In Namibia, India is set to sign a landmark agreement on unified digital payments, expanding its digital public goods model across the continent.
The BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (July 6) will be a diplomatic highlight. India will advocate for reforms in global governance, responsible AI, climate action, and a unified stance against terrorism—especially in the wake of Operation Sindoor. With India set to chair BRICS in 2026, this summit lays the groundwork for deeper South-South cooperation.
This tour is not just about bilateral ties—it’s a strategic assertion of India’s role in shaping a multipolar world. From defence exports to digital diplomacy, PM Modi’s itinerary reflects India’s ambition to lead with purpose and partnership.
