French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday shared a selfie with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the G7 Summit, accompanying the photo with a simple one-word caption: “Nice!”
The caption appeared to carry a playful double meaning — not only expressing appreciation for the moment but also referencing Nice, the picturesque French Riviera city that is hosting this year’s G7 Summit.
The light-hearted post, showing the two leaders smiling, quickly drew attention on social media as both PM Modi and Macron are set for key discussions on the sidelines of the summit.
The post comes as Prime Minister Modi begins a crucial diplomatic visit to France, where he is expected to participate in G7 Summit and hold a series of bilateral meetings with world leaders, including US President Donald Trump.
