Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival in Brazil on Sunday was marked by a powerful cultural display by the Indian diaspora on India’s counter-terror initiative, Operation Sindoor. The performance, illustrating the bold mission against Pakistan-based terror groups, marked a vibrant welcome for the prime minister, who was deeply moved by the gesture.
The act, performed by Brazilian Indian diaspora artists, included dramatised sequences of Indian security forces confronting terror threats, followed by a patriotic musical tribute. PM Modi praised the community’s creativity and spirit.
PM Modi, on the fourth leg of his five-nation tour, landed at Galeao International Airport early Sunday to a ceremonial reception. PM Modi is in Rio de Janeiro for the 17th Brics Summit.
The atmosphere turned electric upon the prime minister’s arrival at the hotel, where hundreds from Indian community members gathered to welcome him while chanting “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and waving the tricolour.
During his four-day stay in Brazil, PM Modi will participate in the Brics Summit on July 6-7, before proceeding on a state visit to Braslia, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in nearly six decades.
His arrival comes at a time when Brics, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has expanded to include five new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Modi’s engagements will include high-level bilateral meetings with fellow Brics leaders. The Brazil leg follows visits to Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina. The final stop on his diplomatic tour will be Namibia.
