Catch PM Modi in action at the Quad Summit where diplomacy goes hand in hand with a sprinkle of cultural camaraderie!

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in the United States for a whirlwind three-day visit, instantly lighting up the Quad Summit with his infectious enthusiasm. Fresh from meeting Australian PM Anthony Albanese and Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, Modi reaffirmed India's commitment to the Quad alliance with the gravity of a magician pulling rabbits out of hats—though his magic is all about global diplomacy! With the U.S. President Joe Biden by his side, Modi declared, "Quad is here to stay!" Something tells us the Quad is like the ever-present dessert buffet at an Indian wedding—everyone wants to be part of it!

During his U.S. tour, Prime Minister Modi showcased not only India's diplomatic finesse but also its vibrant cultural presence. He participated in the Cancer Moonshot event, announcing a whopping USD 7.5 million contribution to research epitomizing the ‘One Earth One Health’ vision. As Modi engaged with leaders of Quad nations, it's safe to say that India is planting its flag firmly on the globe, making sure it’s visible even from space! Forget just networking; Modi turned the summit into a mix of power talks and friendly banter, showing that when it comes to global challenges, teamwork makes the dream work.

Amid the cordial embraces and enthusiastic discussions, PM Modi expertly sidestepped the subject of China, all while sending a few cryptic messages to the global audience. He emphasized that the Quad isn't aimed against anyone but stands for a rules-based order that promotes peace and stability. If diplomacy were a game of cricket, Modi would be that star player who knows when to swing his bat and when to let that bouncer pass!

As the Quad leaders hit the soccer field of international relations, it seems like Modi scored some major goals to strengthen partnerships across borders. Wondering about what the future holds? India is set to host the Quad meeting in 2025! This marks a grand moment for the Indian community abroad, who welcomed Modi with dhol-nagadas and ‘Modi-Modi’ chants, demonstrating that they’ve carved a niche for themselves while mixing tradition with global politics.

Did you know that this is PM Modi’s ninth visit to the U.S. since he took office? His ability to foster relationships and improve dialogue stems from a keen understanding that global relations today are as crucial as the spices in our favorite biryani! Additionally, with 2025 on the horizon, the Quad alliance is bound to dive even deeper into collaborative ventures, whether in technology, defense, or health care, making it a standout partnership to watch!
