Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday expressed gratitude to the Indian community in Jordan for the warm reception accorded to him in Amman, saying he was “deeply touched" by the affection shown by the diaspora.

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said the Indian community’s enthusiasm reflected their strong cultural roots and enduring bond with India. He also acknowledged the role played by the diaspora in strengthening ties between India and Jordan.

“Deeply touched by the warm welcome extended by the Indian community in Amman. Their affection, pride in India’s progress and strong cultural bonds reflect the enduring connection between India and its diaspora. Grateful for their contribution to furthering India–Jordan relations," PM Modi said.

Earlier in the day, PM Modi arrived in Amman as part of his three-nation tour covering Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman. He was received at the airport by Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, who extended a formal welcome to the Indian leader.

Thanking his Jordanian counterpart for the reception, Modi said the visit would help deepen bilateral engagement.

“Landed in Amman. Thankful to Prime Minister Jafar Hassan for the warm welcome at the airport. I am confident this visit will further strengthen the linkages between our two nations," he said in another post.

Before departing India, the Prime Minister said the three-nation tour would focus on countries with which India shares deep civilisational ties as well as robust contemporary partnerships.

During his stay in Jordan, PM Modi is scheduled to hold talks with King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Hassan, and also meet Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah.

From Amman, the Prime Minister will travel to Ethiopia at the invitation of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, marking his first visit to the African nation.

In Ethiopia, the Prime Minister will hold bilateral discussions with Abiy Ahmed and interact with members of the Indian diaspora.

He is also scheduled to address a joint session of the Ethiopian Parliament, where he plans to speak on India’s democratic traditions and the growing India–Ethiopia partnership in the Global South.

The final leg of PM Modi’s tour will take him to the Sultanate of Oman, where he will meet the Indian community and hold engagements aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation.
