Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday (local time) for the second leg of his five-nation tour, where he was accorded a ceremonial Guard of Honour at Piarco International Airport.
The Prime Minister was received by his counterpart, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who was joined by 38 ministers and four parliamentarians. In a gesture seen as a mark of respect for Indian culture, Persad-Bissessar welcomed PM Modi wearing traditional Indian attire.
In a post on X, the PM said, “Landed in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. I thank Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, distinguished members of the Cabinet and MPs for the gesture of welcoming me at the airport. This visit will further cement bilateral ties between our nations. Looking forward to addressing a community programme in a few hours from
now.”

During his two-day visit, PM Modi will hold talks with President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar.
The Prime Minister is also expected to address a joint sitting of Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament.
