Warm diaspora welcome marks Modi’s entry into Brazil; To participate in 17th BRICS Summit and meet President Lula in Brasília during a four-day official tour
Rio de Janeiro: “Members of the Brazilian Indian community gave us a vibrant reception in Rio de Janeiro,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after landing in Brazil on Saturday. The enthusiastic welcome by the Indian diaspora set a spirited tone for the Prime Minister's four-day visit, during which he will attend the 17th BRICS Summit and undertake a state visit to the capital city, Brasília, at the invitation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
This leg of Modi’s diplomatic outreach is the fourth stop in his ongoing five-nation tour, focused on enhancing strategic and multilateral cooperation across key global platforms.
Upon arrival at Galeão International Airport, PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome by Brazilian authorities. Capturing the essence of the moment, he posted:
“It’s incredible how they remain connected to Indian culture and also show great passion for India’s development! Here are some moments from the reception…”

“Landed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I will take part in the BRICS Summit and later go to their capital, Brasília, for a state visit on the invitation of President Lula. Hoping for a productive round of meetings and interactions during this visit.”

Modi’s visit will see active participation in BRICS sessions focusing on global economic resilience, multilateral reforms, and sustainable development. His bilateral talks with President Lula are expected to reinforce collaboration in renewable energy, digital governance, trade, and climate action.
This Brazil visit, rich in both symbolic and strategic value, highlights India’s continuing engagement with the Global South and emerging economic coalitions.
