Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on Saturday (2 November) released a commemorative coin marking the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev besides releasing a Thai translation of the Tamil classic 'Tirukkural' at the 'Sawasdee PM Modi' community event in Bangkok.
PM Modi, who arrived in Thailand earlier yesterday, later addressed the Indian diaspora. "Immense fervour at the 'Sawasdee PM Modi' community event in Bangkok," he tweeted from his official Twitter handle.
'Tirukkural' is written by poet Thiruvalluvar and has been translated into many languages. The Tamil community in Thailand got it translated into Thai language for the first time, as PM Modi released the translation.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that the Indian community in Thailand is about 2,50,000-member strong. PM Modi addressed a gathering of these members of the Indian diaspora, speaking to them on a host of issues, and also inviting them to visit the Kartarpur Corridor which is set to open up soon.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
