On July 4, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded the highest civilian honour of Trinidad and Tobago—the Order of the Republic—during his official two-day visit to the Caribbean nation. This recognition was given for his global leadership, contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his deep engagement with the Indian diaspora. The award also marked a historic moment as this was the first Indian Prime Ministerial visit to Trinidad and Tobago since 1999. PM Modi’s acceptance of the honour, on behalf of the 140 crore people of India, further strengthened the cultural and diplomatic ties between the two nations.
