PM Narendra Modi continued his Argentina visit on a high note, paying tributes to iconic global figures and deepening India’s cultural and diplomatic outreach.
After concluding high-level bilateral talks with President Javier Milei, PM Modi paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and General Jose de San Martin in the capital city of Buenos Aires.
Prime Minister Modi visited the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Buenos Aires and offered floral tributes, reaffirming India’s global message of peace and non-violence.
“Paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi in Buenos Aires. His timeless vision and noble ideals will always guide humanity. All over the world, the thoughts of Bapu reverberate. They give strength and hope to millions. Inspired by him, we reiterate our commitment to build a just and compassionate world,” he wrote on social media platform X.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal echoed the sentiment, posting, “Bapu’s legacy remains an inspiration for many across the world.”
PM Modi also paid homage to Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, recognising his influence on Argentina’s intellectual circles during his 1924 visit.
“Paid homage to Gurudev Tagore in Buenos Aires. We in India take immense pride in his contributions to our history and culture. His emphasis on learning and education is deeply motivational,” PM Modi posted on X.
MEA Spokesperson Jaiswal added that Tagore’s ideas continue to resonate with the people of Argentina.
PM Modi laid a wreath at General San Martin’s memorial, honouring Argentina’s national hero.
“Paid homage to Gurudev Tagore in Buenos Aires. Gurudev Tagore had visited Argentina in 1924 and had left a lasting impression on the minds of many people in this nation, especially scholars and students. We in India take immense pride in the contributions of Gurudev Tagore to our nation’s history and culture. His emphasis on learning and education is also very motivating,” PM Modi stated on X.
MEA noted that a New Delhi road named after General San Martin reflects India’s respect for his legacy and strong ties with Argentina.
A day earlier, PM Modi and President Milei held comprehensive delegation-level talks in Buenos Aires.
The two leaders reviewed current cooperation and committed to enhancing ties in key sectors such as defence, agriculture, mining, energy, and trade.
“Excellent meeting with President Javier Milei of Argentina. We are marking 75 years of India-Argentina diplomatic relations and 5 years since we elevated our relationship to a Strategic Partnership. We have covered significant ground in our bilateral relations, but we agree that the journey ahead is even more promising!” PM Modi posted on X.
