BRASILIA: India's Ambassador to Brazil, Dinesh Bhatia, has stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the South American nation has significantly strengthened bilateral relations between the two countries, both of which are important components of the Global South.
During his official visit to Brazil, PM Modi held extensive discussions with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Tuesday. Both leaders agreed to enhance cooperation across a range of sectors, including defence, trade, energy, agriculture, digital technology, and people-to-people engagement.
Describing President Lula as the "Chief Architect of the Strategic Partnership between India and Brazil," Prime Minister Modi praised the Brazilian leader for playing a pivotal role in strengthening ties between the two democracies.
Ambassador Bhatia, speaking to IANS, highlighted the importance of this visit, stating, "This is the first state visit by the Indian Prime Minister to Brazil in 57 years. There were very meaningful discussions between Prime Minister Modi and President Lula. Both leaders shared great chemistry, and they discussed several subjects that had perhaps never been on the table before, and now we are moving forward on them." (IANS)
