When President @jokowi handed over G20 presidency to PM @narendramodi at Bali recently, PM called it a matter of pride for every citizen in India & expressed hope it will help “make G20 summit a catalyst for global welfare.”
What a perfect place to start G20 dialogue process!

As India’s G20 Sherpa @amitabhk87 accompanied heads of missions and ambassadors of G20 nations, first to Port Blair, followed by their conference destination at Havelock, PM @narendramodi ‘s personal touch can be seen written all over it!

Notwithstanding the unsavoury controversy over Veer Savarkar, @narendramodi Govt took all the delegates to Cellular Jail & brought them face to face with struggle of Indian revolutionaries & in the process made a statement - why Independence is imp to us!

In keeping with India’s commitment to fighting sponsored terror in all forms, the conference began on 2611-day that will remain etched in our collective memory for ever.
And it began with Yoga,beach cleaning followed by presentation-again PM @narendramodi ‘a stamp all over it!

A week before departing for Bali, PM @narendramodi launched G20 logo for India’s presidency. It is clear from video India’s G20 presidency will show a completely diff view of India to the world- a confident, resurgent & powerful India, determined to play its role on global stage!

If one were to go by track record of PM @narendramodi over past 8+ years, he has used every international visit -be it own or inbound visits of visiting heads of states-to showcase India in a diff light. Whether it is abt selecting the venue or gift, it is always #IndiaFirst
Gone are the days when Indian PM used to charm foreigners with snakes; current Indian PM @narendramodi always makes it a point to show them India’s best and brightest of several millennia old civilisation…..& G20 will not be any exception either!
In my view: if there is one leader who has followed soft power theory propounded by Joseph Nye in 2004 to the last word, it is PM @narendramodi .
NYE described it as “the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments”.
NYE described it as “the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments”.
According to Nye, “it arises from attractiveness of a country’s culture, political ideals, & policies. When our policies are seen as legitimate in d eyes of others, our soft power is enhanced”. PM @narendramodi, be it through his choice of venue, gifts etc,has always enhanced it!
Kudos to @amitabhk87 for the way he has been handling the Sherpa responsibility entrusted to him by the @narendramodi Govt.
And for me this comment by British HC bears the real testimony of the Indian effort. It is how long we have come under PM @narendramodi over past 8 plus years to become a confident, resurgent and powerful nation. Next 12 months will be defining moments for India.
