The Indian diaspora in Brazil extended a warm welcome to Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a special cultural performance themed around "Op Sindoor" upon his arrival in the South American country for a four-day visit. The performance was a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces and was inspired by Operation Sindoor, India's anti-terror operation against Pakistan-based terrorists. The event showcased India's rich heritage while paying tribute to national sacrifice and strength.

Members of the Indian community in Brazil presented the success of Operation Sindoor through paintings and a semi-classical dance performance in front of PM Modi. Rekha, one of the performers, mentioned that the dance was a heartfelt dedication to the brave soldiers. Another participant, Sneha, incorporated a painting of Operation Sindoor into the performance. As women artists, they also dedicated their performance to PM Modi, as well as Vyomika Singh and Sofia Qureshi, who represent strength and inspiration.

Operation Sindoor gained attention when Brazil expressed interest in acquiring the Akash air defense system, which demonstrated stellar performance during the operation. During Operation Sindoor, the Akash missile system effectively countered attacks from Pakistani forces, including armed drones and missiles targeting military and civilian areas.

The Prime Minister's visit to Brazil includes a bilateral meeting with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, focusing on expanding cooperation in trade, oil and gas, renewable energy, space, and technology. The visit also includes the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

Local Brazilians also expressed excitement about PM Modi's visit. One resident said it was truly an honor for Brazil to host PM Modi. Another resident expressed that meeting PM Modi was a dream come true and conveyed their pride in having this opportunity.

PM Modi's five-nation tour, including Brazil, emphasizes security cooperation, counter-terrorism, and strengthening ties with the Global South. The visit also included stops in Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, and Namibia.
