Reigning National Junior Calypso Monarch Xhaiden Darius was handpicked to witness one of the most significant events of 2025 – the arrival of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He stood alongside brothers Kaveem and Keiron Newton and greeted and presented flowers to Modi as he arrived at Piarco International Airport on July 3.

The nine-year-old told Newsday he was "completely blown away" by the experience as Modi briefly greeted him with a simple “Namaste.”
