Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of India, a position he has held since 2014, leading the world's most populous nation and fifth-largest economy. He features prominently in Creamer Media's coverage of global trade, energy and mining diplomacy, including India's hosting of the 2026 BRICS Leaders' Summit in New Delhi, where he engaged with leaders including China's Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin and Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian amid divisions within the bloc over the US-Israel conflict with Iran. Modi has pursued closer energy and critical-minerals ties with partners including Canada, Australia and Brazil, overseeing agreements such as a uranium supply deal with Canada's Cameco and a mining and minerals pact with Brazil aimed at lifting bilateral trade beyond $20-billion within five years. He has also pushed India's nuclear expansion plans, targeting more than an elevenfold increase in atomic power capacity by 2047, and has called on citizens to curb gold purchases to ease pressure on the rupee and foreign exchange reserves amid rising import tariffs on gold and silver. Modi participates in the Quad grouping with Australia, Japan and the US, and has signalled willingness to stabilise relations with China despite ongoing border disputes, while navigating tensions with the US over tariffs. He has also been invited to attend international summits on Africa-focused investment hosted by other world leaders, reflecting India's growing diplomatic and economic engagement with the continent.
