A lighthearted moment between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 Summit in Canada has taken the internet by storm. As the two leaders greeted each other with a warm hug, Modi smiled and asked, “Nowadays, you are fighting on Twitter?”—a cheeky reference that left Macron and bystanders in splits.
Key Highlights:
-
The Viral Moment: The exchange happened on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Kananaskis. Modi’s comment was widely interpreted as a nod to Macron’s recent online spat with former U.S. President Donald Trump over Israel–Iran diplomacy.
-
Social Media Buzz: The clip quickly spread across platforms like X and Instagram. Users dubbed it “Modi trolling Trump internationally,” while others called it a “masterclass in diplomacy with a dose of desi wit.”
-
#Melodi Resurfaces: In a separate viral moment, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni greeted Modi with a smile and said, “You are the best. I am trying to be as you,” reviving the affectionate hashtag #Melodi from previous summits.
-
Diplomatic Undertones: Despite the humor, the interaction underscored the strong rapport between India and France. Modi later posted on X, calling Macron “a friend” and reaffirming their commitment to global cooperation.
The candid exchange offered a rare glimpse into the human side of diplomacy, blending global politics with a touch of humor that resonated far beyond the summit.
