The Congress said that Gandhi will interact with university students in Brazil, Colombia, and beyond, fostering dialogue with the next generation of global leaders.

He will hold meetings with presidents and senior leaders across multiple countries, strengthening democratic and strategic ties, the party said.

Gandhi will engage with business leaders to explore opportunities as India seeks to diversify trade and partnerships in the wake of US tariffs, it said.

The Congress said that “crucial visit” carries historical resonance, adding that India and South America have long shared bonds through the Non-Aligned Movement, solidarity in the Global South, and a commitment to a multi-polar world order.

Gandhi’s outreach continues this tradition while opening new avenues of cooperation in trade, technology, sustainability, and people-to-people exchanges, the Congress said.

It underscores the essential role of India’s democratic opposition in shaping international partnerships and advancing India’s global presence, the party said.

Gandhi’s last official visit abroad was in April last year. At Brown University, he interacted with faculty members and students. He had also engaged with members of the NRI community, office bearers and functionaries of the Indian Overseas Congress.
