Prime Minister Narendra Modi has officially commenced his landmark five-nation diplomatic tour, covering Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia from July 2 to 9, 2025. The visit underlines India’s expanding global engagement and deepening ties with the Global South across multiple domains—trade, defence, healthcare, and digital innovation.

Historic Arrival in Ghana 

PM Modi was warmly received today by President John Dramani Mahama as he landed in Accra, Ghana, for a two-day official visit. This marks the first time an Indian Prime Minister is visiting Ghana in over four decades, symbolizing a renewed push to strengthen Indo-African relations.

During his stay, PM Modi is expected to: 

* Hold high-level bilateral talks with President Mahama

* Address the Ghanaian Parliament

* Witness the signing of multiple MoUs and agreements across:

  * Healthcare

  * Agriculture

  * Defence cooperation

  * Digital infrastructure

This visit aims to reinvigorate over 70 years of diplomatic relations and lay the foundation for future collaboration in economic and strategic sectors.

Next Stops on the Tour: Strengthening the Global South 

After Ghana, the Prime Minister's itinerary includes: 
 * Trinidad and Tobago (July 3–4): Focus on diaspora engagement, energy cooperation, and joint skill development initiatives.

* Argentina: High-level economic and trade discussions, including potential agreements in renewable energy and space technology.

* Brazil (July 5–8): Major talks expected on defence production and joint technology development. Brazil has shown keen interest in India’s:

  * Akash surface-to-air missile system
  * Secure communication tech used during Operation Sindoor
    PM Modi is scheduled to visit both Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia during this leg of the tour.

* Namibia: A special visit to pay tribute to Sam Nujoma, the father of Namibia’s independence, who passed away earlier this year. The visit also highlights India’s support for African decolonisation and development.

Why This Tour Matters?

This five-nation tour is seen as India’s strategic outreach to underrepresented regions at a time of global uncertainty and shifting alliances. By engaging nations in, India aims to build new alliances rooted in:

* Mutual growth
* Defence and tech collaboration
* Cultural exchange
* Global South solidarity

The visit is also a signal to major powers that India remains committed to a multipolar, inclusive world order where every region has a voice.

 Posted on Knowledge24/7 | By Nitesh Srivastava In a major development shaking the tech industry, "Google is once again in the legal spotlight"—this time, for its "alleged monopoly over the digital advertising ecosystem". The Second Big Blow to Google   On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) launched a high-stakes "Antitrust Trial Against Googl", accusing the tech giant of using unfair and monopolistic tactics to dominate the online advertising market. This comes just months after a judge ruled in favor of the DoJ in a separate case, declaring that Google had "illegally monopolised online search". This latest trial poses a much larger threat—targeting the very core of Google’s AdTech business , which is responsible for over 75% of the company’s total revenue. What’s at Stake?   Google earned more than \$200 billion from online ads in the past year alone. Prosecutors argue that the company unfairly takes up to 36% of advertiser spending...

The swearing in of former Supreme CJI, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman New Delhi : The swearing in of former Supreme Court judge, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman on Saturday is the outcome of years of dogged litigation by NGO Common Cause, the apex court's own judgment in April 2017 and, finally, the contempt of court proceedings initiated against the government for its inability to implement the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act of 2013.                         The top court has consistently kept up the pressure on the government every step of the way. The past years have seen the government stall the appointment of the anti-corruption ombudsman for various reasons, chief among those was the absence of a Leader of Opposition (LoP) in 16th Lok Sabha. This loophole was overcome on April 24, 2017 when the Supreme Court declared that absence of a member of the high-level Lokpal selection committee c...
