Donald Trump left his seat and stood up after seeing Modi’s entry in the G7 summit, said this by placing his hand on his shoulder

Evian-les-Bains (France): A picture has emerged from the 52nd G-7 summit going on on the banks of Lake Evian-les-Bains in the beautiful city of France, which has created a stir from social media to international diplomatic circles. As soon as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived for the G-7 outreach session meeting on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump, who was already sitting there, immediately stood up from his seat on seeing him. After this, both the stalwarts shook hands very warmly and Trump smiled and patted PM Modi’s shoulder. This amazing bonding and mutual respect seen between the two superpowers is now being discussed all over the world.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come to participate in this very high-level global conference on the special and official invitation of the President of France. This is also a very proud record for India because India is participating in this summit for the 13th time, while PM Modi himself is representing the country on this global platform for the seventh consecutive time.

Modi and Trump came face to face after 16 months

Let us tell you that this is the first meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump after a long wait of about 16 months. Earlier, both the veteran leaders had met in Washington in the month of February last year. In the videos and pictures that have emerged from the conference, it can be clearly seen how both the leaders burst into tears after seeing each other. Smiling, both of them held hands and talked for a long time. This meeting is also considered very important because at present very important discussions are going on between India and America on trade, tariffs and many other diplomatic issues.

PM Modi’s ‘perfect’ group photo with world leaders

Another historic moment came during this 52nd G-7 summit when Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood for the traditional group photo (family photo) with the heads of state of the world’s most powerful countries. In this iconic picture, not only were US President Donald Trump and host French President Emmanuel Macron along with PM Modi, European Council President Antonio Costa and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were also seen in a very special style.

In this group photo, stalwarts like Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were also seen smiling together.

Many big and serious issues of the world are currently being discussed in this G-7 summit to be hosted by France from 15 to 17 June 2026. India has been invited on this grand platform as a very special ‘Partner Country’, which clearly reflects India’s growing influence on the global stage.
