Let me tell you, PM Modi had reached Papua New Guinea from Hiroshima on Saturday evening. During this, he was given state honor. The tradition of Papua New Guinea was also broken to welcome him.

During this, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea James Marepa was also seen touching his feet. After this, he was given a guard of honor at the airport itself.
