New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been celebrated with 23 international honours from 2014 to 2025, marking him as the most globally recognised leader in India’s history.

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya, sharing the infographic on X, said, "No Prime Minister of India has ever had such a profound global impact. This is not just about one leader—it reflects the rise of India’s economic strength, strategic clarity, and diplomatic assertiveness on the world stage. And none of it would have been possible without the unwavering trust that 140 crore Indians have placed in Prime Minister Modi’s leadership."

"For the first time, India’s foreign policy is unapologetically India First—clear-headed, confident, and consistent. The world is not just watching; it is acknowledging and respecting this new India," Malviya further added.
