An island nation named its highest civilian honour after the ocean it’s trying to protect — and gave it to India’s Prime Minister.
Seychelles President Patrick Herminie conferred “Guardian of the Blue Horizon” on PM Modi on 28 June 2026, during a three-day state visit. It recognised his leadership on climate and Indian Ocean cooperation.
This visit produced 19 outcomes in total — defence, maritime security, digital payments, space, and more, not just this honour. See the full list, and every other PM Modi visit in 2026, in IntlRel0025 — PM Modi’s Foreign Visits.
