*PM Modi: A Voice heard Globally*
During his visit to Guyana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a Special Session of the Guyanese Parliament on 21st November, marking yet another significant moment in his global diplomatic outreach.
This will be the 14th such instance when PM Modi will speak on behalf of the people of India in the Parliaments of foreign nations.
He holds the distinction of being the Indian PM with the highest number of addresses to foreign Parliaments.
His 14 addresses to Foreign Parliaments are double the number of addresses by Manmohan Singh, who had delivered 7 such addresses. Indira Gandhi had addressed foreign legislatures four times, while Jawaharlal Nehru did it three times. Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee delivered two such addresses while others like Morarji Desai and PV Narsimha Rao addressed only once.
Over the years, PM Modi has delivered speeches in legislative chambers across the world, from the Americas to Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. His addresses, which transcend continents, are a testament to India’s growing influence on the global stage.
PM has addressed the joint session of US Congress twice - in 2016 and then again in 2023.
In 2014, PM addressed the Parliaments of Australia and Fiji.
PM addressed the British Parliament in 2015.
In Africa, PM has addressed the National Assembly of Mauritius in 2015 and the Parliament of Uganda in 2018.
In Asia, PM has addressed the Parliament of joint session of the Bhutanese Parliament and Nepal Constituent Assembly in 2014, Parliaments of Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Afghanistan in 2015, and Parliament of Maldives in 2019.
