Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a strong message against terrorism during his Brazil visit on July 9, 2025. Speaking alongside Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, he said, “There is no place for double standards on terrorism.” His words, though not naming any country, hinted at Pakistan and China for supporting terrorist activities. This bold stance resonated globally, especially after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025.
Modi thanked Brazil for its support after the attack. “Our thinking aligns—zero tolerance, zero double standards,” he added. The two nations, therefore, stand united against terrorism. Their talks also covered trade, defense, and technology, aiming to boost ties. For instance, they set a goal of $20 billion in bilateral trade by 2030.
Moreover, the leaders signed six agreements. These include cooperation in renewable energy, digital solutions, and combating international terrorism. Modi’s visit, thus, strengthens India-Brazil bonds. He also received Brazil’s highest civilian honor, the Grand Collar of the National Order of the Southern Cross, from President Lula. This gesture highlights the growing trust between the two nations.
The visit wasn’t just about talks. Modi was welcomed with a grand 114-horse parade at Alvorada Palace in Brasília. Additionally, an Indian classical bhajan performance added a cultural touch. These moments showed Brazil’s warmth toward India. Meanwhile, Modi’s speech at the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7, 2025, also focused on global issues like climate change and AI.
Why does this matter? Terrorism remains a global threat. Modi’s words call for unity in fighting it. His reference to “double standards” points to nations that condemn terrorism but back it indirectly. For example, India has long called Pakistan the “global epicenter of terrorism.” China’s close ties with Pakistan also raise concerns. By addressing this in Brazil, Modi pushes for a clear, unified global stance.
