Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to begin his five-nation tour covering Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia between July 2-9, 2025. The PM’s historic visit to Ghana marks a significant diplomatic milestone in India’s outreach to Africa. With trade, health, energy, and capacity-building at the forefront, the visit is poised to recalibrate bilateral relations that have spanned over seven decades.
During the two-day visit to Ghana, Mr. Modi will hold high-level talks with President John Dramani Mahama, address Ghana’s Parliament, and oversee the signing of several agreements across sectors, including health, agriculture, digital infrastructure, and defence.
