Moscow: In G20, India has proved its diplomacy to the world. Through the same diplomacy, India also made its all-weather friend Russia happy. These days, a picture taken during G20 is going viral, which is being discussed more in Russia than in India. In this picture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is laughing and the person whose hand he is holding firmly is Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
People on social media are curious as to what could have happened between the two leaders that PM Modi started laughing out loud. Despite the mention of Ukraine war in the G20 joint declaration, the Russian Foreign Minister was not only happy with the meeting but was also satisfied with the G20 joint declaration. Even though the Ukraine war was mentioned in the joint manifesto of the G20 to please America and the Western countries. But in a very diplomatic manner, Russia’s name was not in that joint declaration.
It is noteworthy that in the joint manifesto, instead of war against Ukraine, war in Ukraine was written. Russian President Putin may not come to India. But friend PM Modi gave relief to Putin while sitting in Delhi. Now Russian media has also openly praised India’s G20. Russia’s government media agency said that the G20 was organized brilliantly. It was not allowed to be Ukrainianized. India and Russia are natural friends of each other. There were many such occasions in history when Western countries were against India, then Russia stood with India.
