Narendra Modi conferred with Papua New Guinea and Fiji’s highest honour

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been bestowed with the highest honours of Papua New Guinea and Fiji, a rare acknowledgment for a non-resident in the Pacific island nations. The accolade came during Modi’s inaugural visit to Papua New Guinea, where he led a significant summit with 14 Pacific island countries. Papua New Guinea's Governor General, Sir Bob Dadae, awarded Modi with the Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu (GCL), their highest civilian award. This exceptional honour, which is limited to a few “Chief” titleholders like former US President Bill Clinton, was given to Modi for his exceptional contribution in unifying Pacific Island nations. Furthermore, the Prime Minister has been recognised by multiple nations, including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, the UAE, and the Maldives with their respective highest honours.
