Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accompanied by the Prime Minister of Thailand, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, on Friday visited Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan, popularly known as Wat Pho.

The Indian Prime Minister paid homage to the Reclining Buddha and offered ‘Sanghadana’ to senior Buddhists monks.

"Prime Minister also presented a replica of Ashokan Lion Capitol to the shrine of Reclining Buddha," read a statement issued by the Indian Prime Minister's Office.

On the occasion, he recalled the strong and vibrant civilizational ties that exist between the two countries.

Indian PM Narendra Modi is visiting Thailand to attend the BIMSTEC Summit.

Modi on Friday proposed a 21-point Action Plan covering different aspects of cooperation among the BIMSTEC nations at the 6th BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok city.

He remarked to boost business across BIMSTEC nations and harness the rich potential of the IT sector.

He also urged the need to work together in the field of disaster management in the wake of the recent earthquake affecting Myanmar and Thailand.

Modi emphasised working in the world of space and strengthening the security apparatus.

Urging to collectively energise BIMSTEC and underlining the role of  youth who will take the lead, he expressed hope that the cultural linkages will further bring the BIMSTEC nations closer.

In a thread post on X, he wrote: “BIMSTEC is an important forum to further global good. It is imperative we strengthen it and deepen our engagement. In this context, I proposed a 21-point Action Plan covering different aspects of our cooperation."

“It’s time to boost business across BIMSTEC nations!” he said.

Modi said: “Let’s harness the rich potential of the IT sector and make BIMSTEC technologically stronger.”

He said the recent Myanmar earthquake showed the need of nations to work together in the world of disaster management.

“Let’s take our cooperation to the world of space. Let’s also make our security apparatus stronger," he said.

“BIMSTEC has the potential to be a shining example of capacity building frameworks. We will all learn from each other and grow!”
