Paytm founder in awe after PM Modi's image with Rishi Sunak from G20 summit goes viral

Bali is buzzing with world leaders, meeting and greeting each other for the two-day G20 summit in the Indonesian province.

With handshakes and warm gestures, the men who run the world greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will host next year's summit, rubbed shoulders with new UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, US President Joe Biden, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, France President Emmanuel Macron, Chinese President Xi Jinping and International Monetary Fund (IMF) First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath, among others.


PM Modi took to Twitter to share pictures from his eventful day at the G20 Summit.

In one of his tweets, he said he was 'glad' to meet Britain's first Indian-origin PM at the summit, alongside a picture. "Looking forward to working together in the times to come," he wrote.

While Modi opted for his usual kurta and pyjama, paired with a check waistcoat at the summit sessions, Sunak kept it simple in a white shirt with a blueish-grey tie.

In less than 24 hours, the post got more than 12K retweets and was liked by over 108K people.

This pictured warmed Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma's heart. "There is something warm and nice about this photo," he quote-tweeted Modi's post.

In reply, Safe Security co-founder Rahul Tyagi guessed that the two may be conversing in Hindi at the international event.


At the summit, PM Modi also had 'fruitful exchanges' on key issues with Biden.


When RPG Enterprises Chairman Harsh Goenka came across a video of Modi and Biden from the summit, he shared his observations with his 1.7 million followers on the micro-blogging site.

In his post, he said that the body language of world leaders when they were interacting showed that Biden was the 'big Don', and India hold second place in the world. He also observed, "PM Modi warm to Biden. Biden reciprocates, but I see only a formal warmth."


Modi also had an 'enriching interaction' with Gopinath at the summit. In reply, the economist said, "All eyes (were) on India's G20 Presidency."


The Group of 20 nations comprises Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, the USA and the European Union.

The G20 leaders will focus on three pillars - Global Health Architecture, Sustainable Energy Transition, and Digital Transformation - at the summit.
