PM Modi’s stature increased

Senior journalist and geopolitical expert Fareed Zakaria has said that PM Modi can play the role of a valuable mediator in the Russia-Ukraine war. On this the former ambassador said that Zakaria is absolutely right. There are only two people in the whole world who can talk to the leaders of both Russia and Ukraine. One is Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and the other is PM Modi. Apart from these two, there is no third big leader who can talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Modi praised all over the world

PM Modi always says ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’. If we look at Covid recently, PM Modi was praised all over the world. On this, the former ambassador said that PM Modi started with the slogan that the policies we will adopt in India will lead to development of all. But then he/she named these things as ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. It will be remembered that in the year 2014, when he/she went to the General Assembly of the United Nations for the first time, he/she had said in his/her speech that the basic essence of India is that we consider the whole world as one family.

Constructive role on the global stage

Fareed Zakaria also said that PM Modi can play a constructive role on the global stage and leaders of big countries will also praise him/her. On this the former ambassador said that Zakaria has said the right thing. I believe that the wars that are taking place today on the global stage, especially in the countries of the South, are causing a lot of loss to those countries. In this era, India and PM Modi have become partners of choice. All countries want to make friendship with India. India has emerged as a world friend.
