New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomacy has taken him to 70 countries since assuming office in 2014, cementing India’s place on the global stage.
From the United States to Uzbekistan, Modi’s 200-plus foreign visits have blended high-stakes summits, bilateral talks, and diaspora connections, showcasing India’s rising influence.
His latest trip to Oman and Jordan, ongoing as of December 2025, underscores his commitment to strengthening ties across continents.
Modi’s journeys have spanned G20 summits, UN assemblies, and historic firsts, like his 2015 UAE visit, the first by an Indian PM in 34 years. Key destinations include the US (eight visits), Russia, Germany, and Singapore, with recent trips to Nigeria and Guyana highlighting India’s outreach to Africa and the Caribbean. Each visit has bolstered trade, security, and cultural ties, positioning India as a global voice for peace and development.
In a fascinating economic aside, the Kuwaiti Dinar holds the crown as the world’s most valuable currency, trading at approximately Rs 280 per dinar as of December 2025. Backed by Kuwait’s vast oil wealth and stable economy, it outranks the Bahraini Dinar and the US Dollar. This financial titbit adds context to Modi’s Gulf engagements, where economic partnerships are a priority.
As Modi continues his global odyssey, his travels reflect India’s ambition to bridge East and West, while the Kuwaiti Dinar’s dominance reminds us of the Gulf’s economic might.
