Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins a two-day official visit to New Zealand on Friday (July 10), marking the first official trip by an Indian Prime Minister to the country in 40 years.
The last had been by former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1986.
Modi's visit marks a historic milestone in international diplomacy.
As one of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies, India has emerged as a vital global partner in trade, technology, innovation, and regional security.

The high-level discussions between the two leaders are expected to focus on expanding bilateral trade and investment, enhancing maritime security cooperation, advancing education and research partnerships, promoting technology and innovation, boosting tourism, strengthening sporting ties, and addressing key regional and global challenges.
For Gautam Karve, the Editor-in-Chief of the World Media Organization, this visit is far more than a diplomatic engagement.
"It is a defining moment that reflects the growing trust, shared democratic values, and strategic convergence between our two nations," he said.
"As global dynamics continue to evolve, stronger India–New Zealand cooperation will contribute not only to mutual prosperity but also to regional stability, innovation, sustainable development, and international peace."
