Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday achieved a significant milestone in his diplomatic journey by delivering his 17th address to a foreign nation’s Parliament, equalling the combined total of all Congress Prime Ministers before him. The achievement came during his speech at the Namibian Parliament, which ended with a standing ovation and non-stop applause from lawmakers. PM Modi’s landmark moment came during his five-nation tour, which included stops in Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia. He addressed the parliaments of Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, and Namibia during this trip alone. In a post on X, the BJP said: “With his recent addresses in the Parliaments of Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, and Namibia, PM Modi has now delivered 17 speeches to foreign Parliaments -matching the combined total of all Congress Prime Ministers over several decades. He has achieved in just over a decade what took others generations, reaffirming his stature as one of India’s most globally respected leaders.”
