Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed today for a significant three-nation visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, and the Sultanate of Oman, strengthening India’s age-old civilizational ties and contemporary bilateral relations.

Next, in his first visit to Ethiopia, invited by Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali, Modi will discuss bilateral ties in Addis Ababa—headquarters of the African Union—and address Parliament on India’s democratic journey and Global South partnerships, while meeting the diaspora.
The tour concludes in Oman, commemorating 70 years of ties, with talks alongside the Sultan to bolster strategic, commercial, and economic partnerships, including addressing the vibrant Indian diaspora.
