Rahul Gandhi Begins Four Nation South America Tour to Boost Diplomatic and Trade Ties
Rahul Gandhi’s South America tour focuses on enhancing India’s democratic, trade, and cultural ties across four nations
New Delhi : Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has commenced a four-nation tour of South America aimed at strengthening India’s diplomatic, trade, and cultural relations. During the visit, he will engage with political leaders, university students, and business communities across Brazil, Colombia, and two other countries.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera stated that Gandhi’s tour seeks to deepen democratic engagement, expand bilateral trade, and explore strategic cooperation between India and South American nations.
Gandhi is scheduled to interact with students in Brazil and Colombia, fostering people to people connections and discussing shared interests. He will also hold meetings with top political leaders and business figures to explore avenues for trade, investment, and technology collaboration, particularly in response to recent global trade challenges such as US tariffs.
This marks Gandhi’s first overseas visit in September, following his recent trip to Malaysia. While the previous visit drew criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party, this South America tour is being positioned as a strategic effort to enhance India’s partnerships in the region, promote cultural exchange, and strengthen ties within the Global South.
