Prime Minister Narendra Modi receives Slovakia’s highest national decoration, the Order of the White Double Cross (1st Class), during a visit to Bratislava, according to multiple reports. The award is presented by Slovak President Peter Pellegrini, who confers the state honour in connection with the bilateral engagement between the two countries.
Sources also report that Modi publicly expresses gratitude to the people and government of Slovakia and dedicates the honour to Indians, citing the country’s population. Coverage across outlets frames the ceremony as part of broader ties between India and Slovakia, with references to strengthening cooperation and diplomatic relations.
While outlets provide limited detail beyond the event itself, they consistently describe the award as Slovakia’s top state decoration and note Modi’s attendance in Bratislava for the presentation. The reports do not indicate any conditions or specific initiatives tied directly to the honour beyond the symbolic recognition and reaffirmation of relations.
