By Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday shared a hearty laughter with French President Emmanuel Macron and World Bank President Ajay Banga, on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A video posted on Macron’s official X (formerly Twitter) account captured the candid exchange, in which Macron warmly greets PM Modi with a hug, and Banga lightens the mood with a witty remark.
In the clip, Banga approaches the two leaders and, turning to PM Modi, jokes: “He [Macron] is going from one Indian to another,” prompting laughter from both Modi and Macron.
The moment was lighthearted, with PM Modi playfully responding, “He’s always there.”
“It is always a pleasure to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as our partnership with India is both rich and multifaceted. We reviewed the progress on the initiatives launched during my State visit last January, as well as key international issues,” Macron said after the exchange on X.
