Narendra Modi Receives Sweden's Highest Honour

In a momentous recognition of diplomatic relations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Sweden's Royal Order of the Polar Star on Sunday. This accolade, the highest given to a head of government by Sweden, marks Modi's 31st international honor.

The Royal Order of the Polar Star was instituted in 1748 to honor significant contributions to Swedish interests, particularly in public affairs. This award commends Modi's endeavors that have positively impacted these interests.

Upon his arrival in Sweden for a two-day visit, Modi was warmly received by his Swedish counterpart, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, at Gothenburg Airport, further solidifying the friendship between India and Sweden.
