New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to Germany to participate in the G7 Summit and has a packed schedule where he is expected to meet various world leaders.

US President Joe Biden is seen walking up to PM Modi while the world leaders assembled for a photo-op before the Summit. The gesture may be small but has become a big talking point because of the US President ‘cosying up’ to Indian PM. Usually, it has been the other way round. From UK to Europe to Asian nations, representatives of all nations make an extra effort to get closer to US President but here the latter himself walking to PM Modi to greet him has left netizens rejoicing over India’s growing stature.
The video has gone viral on social media and is being liked and commented upon by thousands of netizens.
Moments ago, the Prime Minister also shared a photo of world leaders, tweeting, “At the G-7 Summit with world leaders.”
