PM Modi Launches Diaspora Tour From Indonesia to Australia

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched his diaspora outreach tour in Jakarta on July 7, addressing a gathering of the Indian community at an event attended by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. Modi described Indonesia as a "true friend" and reiterated India's "reform, perform and transform" mantra as a guiding principle for national development.

The Jakarta event marked the first stop of a tour that will take Modi to other nations, including Australia, where he is scheduled to engage with the Indian diaspora. The Prime Minister emphasized the role of overseas Indians as a "living bridge" between their homeland and their adopted countries, strengthening bilateral ties.

President Prabowo's presence at the event underscored the close relationship between India and Indonesia, with both leaders highlighting shared cultural and historical connections. The diaspora gathering in Jakarta drew a large crowd of Indian expatriates and members of the Indian-origin community.

The tour is part of Modi's broader efforts to connect with the Indian diaspora worldwide, promoting investment and cultural exchange. Further details of his engagements in subsequent stops are expected to be announced as the tour progresses.
