Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, India’s resolve for a Nasha Mukt Yuva Bharat continues to grow stronger. It was a privilege to host a patriotic musical and cultural evening at Bharat Mandapam, bringing together 4,000+ youth to pledge against drug abuse.

The electrifying performance by Mika Singh turned entertainment into a force for social change, inspiring young minds to choose purpose over addiction. The evening was honoured by Union Ministers and Kiren Rijiju ji, esteemed Members of Parliament, distinguished guests and the families of our brave Indian Army martyrs, who were honoured for their supreme sacrifice.
Together, we reaffirm our resolve for a stronger, healthier and Viksit Bharat 2047.

Your historic visit—the first by an Indian Prime Minister to New Zealand in four decades—comes at a defining moment, opening a new chapter in India–New Zealand relations following the landmark Free Trade Agreement in April' 26 and expanding cooperation across trade, technology, education and innovation.

From building thriving businesses and enriching New Zealand's farms to excelling in healthcare, education and innovation, the Indian diaspora has proudly served as a vibrant bridge between our two nations.

We look forward to this visit inspiring even stronger people-to-people ties and a shared future of prosperity. 🇮🇳🇳🇿
