The prestigious award was presented to him by the Seoul Peace Prize Foundation at a grand ceremony. A short film on the ‘life and achievements of Prime Minister Modi’ was displayed at the event.
While conferring the award on PM Modi, the award committee acknowledged his contribution to the growth of Indian and global economies, appreciating ‘Modinomics’ for bridging the gap of social and economic disparity between the forward and economically backward sections of the society.
The committee also appreciated him for his contribution toward regional and global peace through a ‘proactive policy’ with countries all across the world.
