The Order of the Most Ancient Welwitschia Mirabilis is the highest civilian award of Namibia.
The award was established in 1995, shortly after Namibia gained independence in 1990, to recognise distinguished service and leadership.
Named after the Welwitschia Mirabilis, a unique and ancient desert plant endemic to Namibia, the order symbolises resilience, longevity and the enduring spirit of the Namibian people.
This makes it the 27th award for PM Modi and 4th award in this ongoing tour.
