PM Modi and Giorgia Meloni Share Light Moment Referencing Viral 'Melodi' at G7 SummitPreviousNext

At the G7 Summit in Evian, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni shared a warm, light-hearted interaction before the group photo, referencing their viral 'Melodi' nickname popularized on social media. Their exchange included a mention of Instagram, likely linked to Meloni's widely liked post of Modi gifting her Melody toffees during his recent visit to Italy. This friendly moment contrasted with Modi's more formal interaction with US President Trump and highlighted the growing public rapport between the two leaders.
