Italy is currently hosting the G7 summit and India is an invitee. The G7 summit consists of seven countries and the European Union or EU. The seven countries are Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, France, Germany, Japan and Canada. A total of eleven countries including India have been invited to this global summit. A moment from this global summit involving the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, has gone viral on the Internet.
Italy PM Giorgia Meloni Welcomes Guests With A Namaste
The G7 Summit taking place in Apulia’s Fasano in Italy began yesterday. The summit is from June 13, 2024, to June 15, 2024. Pictures and videos of the PM of the host country were shared online. Netizens were quick to spot that Meloni was welcoming a few guests by folding hands.
Two instances in particular spread like wildfire on X (formerly known as Twitter). In both instances, Meloni is seen joining her hands and slightly bowing – an uncanny namaste gesture. This small gesture won over millions of Indians.
The friendship between Giorgia Meloni and Narendra Modi has sparked a lot of Melodi memes and many people seem to think that this is just another symptom of the friendship they share. This instance of her doing the namaste was seen as another instance of their friendship.
This Is How Netizens Reacted To This Gesture By The PM
One user took to the comment section and highlighted how nice it is that the Italian PM is embracing Indian culture and universalising it. Another commenter jokingly said, “toh hum rishta pakka samjhein?”
Yet another commenter said that she is just too good and that Indians love her. PM Modi has already arrived in Italy for the summit and was received by the Indian ambassador to Italy, Vani Rao.
The summit is a global platform for the leaders of prominent countries to find solutions to issues faced universally like global warming and climate change, among other things.
