NEW DELHI: India Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the strongest contender for the Nobel Peace Prize, says  Asle Toje. The Deputy Leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee has highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the most credible face of peace in the world today. He further said that he is a big fan of the Indian Prime Minister.

Toje continued by saying that PM Modi is a dependable leader with the capacity to prevent conflict between belligerent nations and promote peace. India is becoming into a wealthy and powerful nation, he said, in large part as a result of the policies PM Modi has put in place. Toje emphasised that it would be a momentous occasion for the deserving leader if PM Modi were to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious honours in the world, honouring those who have made outstanding achievements in promoting peace and resolving conflicts, thus Toje's assertion carries a lot of weight. PM Modi's name has already been suggested multiple times for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Through numerous projects like the International Yoga Day and the International Solar Alliance, many people have pushed for him to receive the renowned prize for his work in fostering economic growth, lowering poverty, and enhancing international relations.

PM Modi received the renowned Seoul Peace Prize in 2018 for his contributions to international collaboration and promoting global economic growth, which was a notable accomplishment. He was the first Indian to receive the prize in 28 years; it had previously been given to 13 deserving people from around the world.
