PM Modi’s Three-Nation Visit: G20 Summit in Brazil, Nigeria, and Guyana (Nov 16-21)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to undertake a crucial three-nation tour from November 16-21, which will include attending the G20 Summit in Brazil, visiting Nigeria, and concluding with a state visit to Guyana. The trip holds significant diplomatic importance as it strengthens India’s strategic partnerships, enhances multilateral engagements, and continues India’s active role in global affairs.

G20 Summit in Brazil (Nov 18-19)

PM Modi will attend the G20 Summit in Rio De Janeiro, hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva. India, as part of the G20 Troika along with Brazil and South Africa, will actively contribute to the discussions on global issues. Modi is expected to present India’s stance on key topics including debt, climate change, and gender equality. The summit follows India’s leadership in the G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration and Voice of the Global South Summits.

PM’s Engagements on the Sidelines of the Summit

On the sidelines of the G20 Summit, PM Modi is likely to meet several global leaders. The summit will also be the last major international engagement for U.S. President Joe Biden before the upcoming U.S. elections, though no formal bilateral meeting between Biden and Modi has been announced yet.

Visit to Nigeria (Nov 16-17)

PM Modi will begin his tour with a visit to Nigeria, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 17 years. During this visit, Modi will strengthen India-Nigeria relations, particularly in the areas of energy, defense, and economic collaboration. India and Nigeria have shared a strategic partnership since 2007, with Indian investments exceeding $27 billion. Modi will also address the Indian diaspora in Nigeria.

Guyana Visit (Nov 19-21)

The final leg of Modi’s trip will be a state visit to Guyana, where he will be the first Indian Prime Minister to visit since 1968. Modi will meet President Mohamed Irfaan Ali and other senior leaders to discuss bilateral ties and cooperation, particularly in the energy and development sectors. He will also participate in the Second CARICOM-India Summit, strengthening India’s engagement with Caribbean nations.

Expected Diplomatic Engagements

On the sidelines of the G20 summit, while there are no details yet on bilateral meetings, discussions are expected on issues like workers’ rights, economic growth, and multilateral cooperation on climate and debt. Additionally, with U.S. President Joe Biden attending, this summit will be a significant event for the global political landscape, given the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
