'We're the most famous couple on Instagram,' Meloni tells Modi; 'Melodi' effect again on social media

PARIS: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have once again grabbed the attention of social media. A fun moment between the two leaders during the G7 Summit in France has gone viral.

The incident happened when the leaders arrived for the usual group photo at the summit. After greeting each other, Meloni told Modi, "We're the most famous couple on Instagram." Both leaders smiled, and the video of the moment quickly became popular on social media.

In 2023, during the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, Meloni shared a selfie with Modi. She posted the picture with the caption, “Good friends at COP28.” The image went viral worldwide within minutes.

Since then, pictures and videos of Meloni and Modi together have often attracted attention on social media. Last month, during Modi's visit to Rome, he gifted Meloni a packet of 'Melody" toffees. The gesture also became widely popular on social media.
