Prime Minister Narendra Modi had conferred upon him the highest honours of Fiji and Papua New Guinea on Monday.
Modi was conferred with the “The Companion of the Order of Fiji” by his Fijian counterpart Sitiveni Rabuka for his global leadership, in a rare honour for a non-Fijian.
Papua New Guinea’s “Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu” was conferred on Modi by the nation's Governor General Sir Bob Dadae.

Governor-General Sir Bob Dadae of Papua New Guinea conferred on PM Narendra Modi the country's highest civilian award, the Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu (GCL).”
“Big Honour for India. Prime Minister Modi has been awarded the highest honour of Fiji by the PM of Fiji: Companion of the Order of Fiji in recognition of his global leadership. Only a handful of Non-Fijians have received this honour to date,” the Prime Minister's Office said.
Modi dedicated the honour to the people of India and to the generations of the Fiji-Indian community, who have played a key role in the special and enduring bond between the two countries.
