Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu has received the Order of Green Crescent, the highest civilian award of Comoros, an African island nation.
It was presented to him by Comoros President Azali Assamouni in Moroni.
Moroni is the capital city of the Comoros archipelago off Africa's east coast.
This is his second international honour since Naidu became Vice-President in 2017.
