Prime Minister Narendra Modi" —can be misinterpreted to mean that "India's Pride" is being welcomed to a place (like Sri Lanka), and thus Sri Lanka is the one giving the welcome, possibly suggesting that Sri Lanka is "India's Pride."That unintended implication comes mainly from:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The use of "to", which usually suggests a destination.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The awkward placement of "India's Pride" right after "to the", making it sound like a place rather than a title or description of the person.</li> </ul><h3>To make it crystal clear that Modi is being welcomed as "India's pride", here are better options:</h3> <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"We warmly welcome Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's pride."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"A warm welcome to Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the pride of India."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">"India’s pride, Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, receives a warm welcome."</li> </ol>Want it formal, poetic, or casual? I can tweak it further.</blockquote>
