He will hold meetings with top leaders across multiple countries to strengthen bilateral relations and explore areas of cooperation.
In addition, Gandhi will also meet with business leaders to explore opportunities for trade and investment, particularly in light of the recent US tariffs.
The visit marks Gandhi’s first overseas trip in September and comes after a recent visit to Malaysia, which sparked controversy and criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya had accused Gandhi of vacationing in Malaysia, prompting a backlash from the Congress party.
The visit is seen as an effort to strengthen India’s ties with South American countries and promote cooperation in areas such as trade, technology, and culture. By engaging with various stakeholders, Gandhi aims to build on historical India-South America cooperation and Global South solidarity.
