During his first visit to Papua New Guinea, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted a significant summit between India and 14 Pacific island countries, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations. This visit was notable as Prime Minister Modi received the highest honors from both Papua New Guinea and Fiji, an unprecedented recognition for a non-resident in these two Pacific island nations.
In Fiji, he was awarded the Companion of the Order of Fiji by Sitiveni Rabuka, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Fiji. Similarly, in Papua New Guinea, Governor-General Sir Bob Dadae conferred the Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu (GCL) to PM Modi, recognizing his efforts in promoting unity among Pacific Island countries and advocating for the Global South.
PM Modi acknowledged the people of India and the generations of the Fiji-Indian community for their significant contribution to strengthening the special and lasting bond between India and Fiji, as he received the prestigious accolade.
