Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday left for a tour of South American nations, including Brazil and Colombia, where he will meet Presidents and senior leaders to explore opportunities as India seeks to diversify trade and partnerships in the wake of US tariffs.
“Rahul is scheduled to engage with political leaders, university students and members of the business community in four countries during the tour,” said Congress’ Media and Publicity Department in-charge Pawan Khera on X.

According to the Congress, Gandhi will interact with university students in Brazil and Colombia. The party said the visit carried historical resonance as India and South America have long shared bonds throughout the Non-Aligned Movement, and have a commitment towards building a multipolar world order.
“Gandhi’s outreach continues this tradition while opening new avenues of cooperation in trade, technology, sustainability and people-to-people exchanges. It also underscores the essential role of India’s democratic opposition in shaping international partnerships and advancing India’s global presence,” the Congress said.
