Modi's visit to Malaysia and Singapore







Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to travel to Malaysia and Singapore from November 21 during which he will attend the 13th ASEAN-India Summit and the 10th EAS.
Since the time he took charge as the prime minister of the country, he's traveled to 18 countries in the world. In a year, Modi spent 55 days overseas and this has drawn sharp criticism from all corners. From Nepal to Facebook headquarters, Modi has been there all.

Narendra Modi had covered 161588.41 kms by May, 2015. By now, he would have reached the moon and started back for Earth. The man has got some stamina! 

Modi's UK visit:
It is after a decade that an Indian Prime Minster made a bilateral visit to the United Kingdom. Modi was received with a red carpet welcome at the Treasury Quadrangle. During the speech at the Britiash Parliament, he said "So much of the modern history of India is linked to this building. So much history looms across our relationship."

Modi's US visit: On the first day of his visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited the global investment community to invest in his country without inhibitions, and join his "Made in India" campaign.
 His five-day visit to the US had a two main aims: High-level diplomacy as at the UN General Assembly and promoting his "Make in India" and "Digital India" initiatives.

Modi's Ireland visit:
