Modi will be attending the ASEAN summit during the dasara Navrathri.He will not be eating anything outside as he is fasting for the Navrathri.
Modi’s participation in the ASEAN Summit will mark his first multilateral engagement with ASEAN leaders during his third term. Over the past decade, India has significantly strengthened ties with the ASEAN countries, focusing on trade, investment, defence, security,connectivity, fintech, heritage conservation, and capacity-building.
India also maintains close bilateral relations with several of the 10 ASEAN member states. The issue of cybercrime, which has recently affected several Indians who were lured by fake recruitment agents and trapped in Southeast Asian nations, including Laos and Cambodia, is expected to be addressed during bilateral discussions with the host nation.
As Modi will be preoccupied with the summit he will not be attending the funeral of Ratan Tata in Mumbai. HM Shah will be attending the funeral this evening.
