November 16 briefed on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Rio De Janeiro visit. Speaking on PM Modi’s visit to Brazil, Suresh K Reddy said, “This is a very important visit. This is going to be the third visit of the Prime Minister. There is a lot of excitement and this excitement is also because of the successful presidency by India last year. We truly showcased our leadership and the successful issuance of the New Delhi Declaration. It reflected the stature of India and it reflected the fact that India is today a country with whom every country wants to be a partner. It reflects the fact that India is today recognised as a consensus maker and that it is able to bring the conflicting parties to the same table and agree on a similar language.”
