Rio de Janeiro [Brazil], July 6 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi witnessed unique cultural performances upon his arrival in Brazil. Brazil is the fourth country in his five-nation visit.
Upon arrival PM Modi was greeted by a jubilant diaspora.
Members of the Indian community held a traditional dance performance on the theme of Operation Sindoor while they welcomed PM Modi.
Operation Sindoor emerged as a calibrated military response to an evolving pattern of asymmetric warfare, one that increasingly targets unarmed civilians along with military personnel. The terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam in April 2025 served as a grim reminder of this shift. India's response was deliberate, precise, and strategic. Without crossing the Line of Control or international boundary, Indian forces struck terrorist infrastructure and eliminated multiple threats, the government in a release stated.
Earlier upon landing in Brazil, PM Modi had expressed optimism towards looking forward to a set of productive meetings and interactions.
He wrote on X, "Landed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I will participate in the BRICS Summit and then head to its capital, Brasilia, for a State visit at the invitation of President Lula. Looking forward to a productive round of meetings and interactions during this visit."
