Papua New Guinea: President of the Republic of Palau, Surangel S. Whipps, Jr., on the sidelines of the FIPIC summit, conferred the ‘Ebakal Award’ on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been awarded Fiji’s highest honour, “Companion of the Order of Fiji” by the Prime Minister of Fiji for his global leadership. Only a few non-Fijians have received this honor so far.
The Prime Minister said, “This honor is not just mine but of 140 crore Indians, the age-old relationship between India and Fiji. I express my heartfelt gratitude to you and the President for this.”
There are different opinions regarding the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country, but the way the President and Prime Minister of two powerful countries of the world, America and Australia, praised his popularity with free voices, it is also a matter of pride for the country. American President Joe Biden said – Prime Minister, I should take your autograph. On the other hand, when the Prime Minister reached Papua New Guinea after his visit to Japan, it was a wonderful sight. New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape, who came to receive him, touched Modi’s feet. It is said that during the quad meeting in Japan, Biden told PM Modi that he was facing a peculiar challenge.
