New Delhi: During his three-day official visit to Thailand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the Indian diaspora in the ‘Sawasdee PM Modi’ community program in Bangkok on Saturday evening.
“Connecting with the Indian diaspora is something I always look forward to. At 6 PM IST this evening in Bangkok, I would interact with the Indian community-based in Thailand. Their contributions to Thailand in various spheres are valuable,” the Prime Minister tweeted earlier today.
