“This honour is also a responsibility; to keep working towards stronger India-Ghana friendship. India will always stand with the people of Ghana and continue to contribute as a trusted friend and development partner," he added.
The award was conferred on the prime minister in recognition of his "distinguished statesmanship and influential global leadership," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a press release.
Thanking the people and government of Ghana for the special gesture, the prime minister noted that the "shared democratic values and traditions of the two countries would continue to nurture the partnership".
He said the award "further deepens the friendship between the two countries and places new responsibility on him to embrace and advance bilateral ties." Modi asserted his confidence that his "historic" state visit to Ghana would impart a new momentum to India-Ghana ties, according to the MEA.
Notably, PM Modi’s visit to Ghana is the first prime ministerial visit from India to Ghana in three decades. The Prime Minister is in Ghana on the first leg of his five-nation tour.
