Days after a major conference of India’s Ambassadors and High Commissioners, where they were urged to be more “proactive” in projecting India’s message worldwide, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar are kicking off a busy summer season, with travels to different parts of the world and hosting a number of their counterparts from BRICS and Quad groupings, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Indian Ocean Region, all in this month alone.
On Sunday (May 3, 2026), Mr. Jaishankar arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, at the start of his own nine-day visit to the Caribbean ‘CARICOM’ grouping of countries, and he will also travel to Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
