PM Modi’s 35 international honours, at a glance | Graphics | Graphics
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has received his 35th international honour, the 'Bintang Adipurna' from Indonesia, as part of a three-nation tour. The report also addresses controversy surrounding a Seychelles award certificate that contained spelling errors.
Why it matters
The frequency of international awards for the Indian PM highlights his diplomatic outreach, while the controversy underscores the scrutiny of administrative processes in international relations.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded the ‘Bintang Adipurna of the Republic of Indonesia’ — the highest civilian honour of the archipelago nation — on Tuesday (July 7, 2026) during his two-day visit to the country, before he departed for Australia and New Zealand as a part of his three-nation tour.
This marks the 35th honorary award that has been conferred upon PM Modi since 2016, and the fifth award within a span of just two months. The other four nations that presented the honorary awards to PM Modi in the last two months are Sweden (May 17), Norway (May 18), Slovakia (June 15), and the Seychelles (June 28).
