Namibia confers highest civilian honour on PM Modi, his 27th global award
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Wednesday conferred with Namibia’s highest civilian honour, ‘Order of the Most Ancient Welwitschia Mirabilis’ upon his arrival in the country during the last leg of his nine-day and five-nation visit.
The award was established in 1995, shortly after Namibia gained independence in 1990, to recognise distinguished service and leadership.
Named after the Welwitschia Mirabilis, a unique and ancient desert plant endemic to Namibia, the award symbolises resilience, longevity and the enduring spirit of the Namibian people.
This is the 27th international honour bestowed upon PM Modi and the fourth award conferred on him during his ongoing tour.
