Modi to receive ORTT during official visit

In­di­an Prime Min­is­ter Naren­dra Mo­di will be award­ed the Or­der of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go (ORTT) dur­ing his up­com­ing of­fi­cial vis­it to this coun­try from Ju­ly 3–4.

The an­nounce­ment was made in a me­dia re­lease from the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter on Tues­day. The ORTT is the na­tion’s high­est ho­n­our and is con­ferred in ac­cor­dance with Sec­tion 10(6) of the Con­sti­tu­tion of the Dis­tin­guished So­ci­ety of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Mo­di, who ac­cept­ed an in­vi­ta­tion from Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, is the first In­di­an Prime Min­is­ter to be elect­ed to three con­sec­u­tive terms, hav­ing been sworn in for a third time on June 9, 2024.

The Gov­ern­ment said Mo­di’s lead­er­ship has deep­ened the six­ty-three-year re­la­tion­ship be­tween Trinidad and To­ba­go and In­dia, both bi­lat­er­al­ly and mul­ti­lat­er­al­ly
