port of Spain. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed a joint session of Trinidad and Tobago’s Parliament. During his speech, the entire parliament echoed with a thunderous applause. MPs rushed applause on Prime Minister Modi’s speech. MPs played applause 28 times, causing PM Modi to stay in the middle of speech 23 times.

Prime Minister Modi said in his speech, “I feel proud to be the first Indian Prime Minister to talk to you in this prestigious Red House. This historic red building has seen the struggle and sacrifice of the people of Trinidad and Tobago for freedom and respect.”

He said that both our nations emerged from colonial rule and wrote their stories using courage as their ink and democracy as their pen. Today, both countries stand as a pillar of glorious democracy and power in the modern world.

He said that democracy is not just a political system in India, this is a way for us to live life. We have a great heritage of thousands of years. There are some members in your Parliament, whose ancestors came from the state of Bihar in India.

PM Modi said that we are developing a new model of Vimin Lead Development in India. Even during the chairmanship of our G20, we have put the success of this model in front of the whole world. He said that from space to sports, from startups to science, from education to entrepreneurship, from aviation to armed forces, they are moving India towards a new future in various fields. Like you, a woman got up from a simple background and became our President. Two years ago, the Indian Parliament took a historic step, in which it was decided to ensure 33 percent reservation for women in Parliament and State Assembly.

He said, “This morning President Christine Kangalu honored me with the ‘Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’, the highest national award of the country. I politely accept it for 1.4 billion Indians.”
