Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and PM Modi have had a great rapport, but their G7 selfies show the power of digital diplomacy
Giorgia Meloni, the 47-year-old first female prime minister of Italy (so much catching up to do with India!), was indisputably the prima donna of the recent G7 summit. Dressed in a pink trouser suit, the tough-talking, hard-nosed politician effortlessly held her own with seven men while gamely smiling through photo ops.
But what grabbed maximum eyeballs was Meloni’s upbeat selfie on Instagram with the special invitee to the 50th summit — our very own Narendra Modi. “Hello from the Melodi team,” posted a grinning Giorgia. And a meme fest broke out. Ooh, their chemistry, swooned admirers. Aah, their camaraderie! Ciao, bella!
