Modi, Giorgia Meloni's selfie moment at G7 Summit goes viral
New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni's selfie was one of the closing shots from the Indian premier's Italy tour for the G7 Summit. India was the outreach country at the summit.
In a picture which went viral on social media, Meloni can be seen clicking the selfie with Modi by her side while both were in all smiles.
The viral picture was almost a deja vu moment for the two global leaders whose selfie at the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai turned out to be popular.
