India's Modi in Trinidad and Tobago as part of Caribbean push
AFP | Port of Spain Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a two-day visit to Trinidad and Tobago, where more than a third of the population is of Indian descent. The visit, Modi's first to the Caribbean nation since he took power in 2014, is part of a wider tour of Latin America that will also include stops in Argentina and Brazil. Modi was greeted at the airport in the capital, Port of Spain, by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, the country's second woman prime minister of Indian descent, and members of her cabinet. During his time in Port of Spain, Modi will meet with Persad-Bissessar and President Christine Carla Kangaloo. He is also due to address a joint session of parliament. He is expected to receive the Caribbean nation's highest honor, the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Relations between India and Trinidad and Tobago date back to 1845, when indentured Indian laborers first arrived to work on sugar and cocoa plantations under British colonial rule, following the end of slavery. Between 1845 and 1917, more than 140,000 laborers settled in the Caribbean nation. The Indian community is now the country's largest ethnic group, at 35.4 percent of the population of 1.4 million. Black Trinidadians are the second-largest group at 34.2 percent. Devant Maharaj, a former government minister and leader of the nation's largest Hindu organization, called Modi a 'hero' and hailed the visit. Modi is seeking to strengthen India–Caribbean ties, following a June visit to Guyana and a summit with Caribbean leaders. He arrived in Trinidad and Tobago from Ghana, where he outlined plans for deeper ties between his country and Africa. Following his swing through Latin America and the Caribbean, the Indian prime minister will visit Namibia before returning home.

Hosted by the Pravasi Legal Cell (PLC) Bahrain Chapter at Indian Darbar Restaurant in Adliya, the farewell ceremony drew an array of attendees from senior Indian embassy officials to Bahraini dignitaries and grassroots community leaders. Trusted representative Jain was widely praised for his hands-on approach in supporting the welfare of Indian nationals during his tenure. Known for his accessibility, advocacy, and calm presence in times of need, he was described by organisers as a bridge between the embassy and those most in need of help. Speaking at the event, Sudheer Thirunilath, Global PRO and President of PLC Bahrain, highlighted Jain's impact. 'His proactive engagement and compassionate diplomacy set a high bar for community service. He stood by the people when it mattered,' he said. Among those in attendance was Bahraini Member of Parliament Dr. Hassan Eid Bukhammas, whose presence underscored the cross-cultural appreciation for Jain's work. Senior embassy figures, including Ravi Singh, Second Secretary (Consular Affairs), and Sandeep Singh, Defence Attaché, also paid tribute. Members of the PLC's Governing Council and Working Committee joined voices with local leaders to acknowledge Jain's role in easing consular concerns, supporting vulnerable workers, and fostering unity among Indian expatriates in Bahrain. As Jain prepares for the next phase of his diplomatic career, the farewell event served as a reminder of the profound connections that can be built through consistent service and human empathy.
