Calling his counterpart, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, 'daughter of Bihar', he said, 'Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's ancestors lived in Buxar, Bihar.

Bihar's heritage is a matter of pride not only for India but for the entire world.' In a post on social media platform X, the PM said, 'The community programme in Port of Spain was spectacular. The energy and warmth of the people made it truly unforgettable. Evidently, our cultural bonds shine brightly!'
