Decoding the Modi Hug: It’s working to India’s advantage

ABP News  

When Shinzo Abe landed at the airport in Ahmedabad, he walked straight into the outstretched arms of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who enveloped him in a warm embrace. Earlier, Prime Minister Modi applied the outreach to world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and his predecessor Francois Hollande, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, Russian President Vladimir Putin and others. It argued that the Indian Prime Minister “does not seem to understand that with world leaders emotional lines are pre-drawn”. It concluded that “these expansive gestures do little good to Prime Minister Modi’s image even if they release more oxytocin to the brains… There are bound to be better ways of pursuing India’s strategic interests”. From the time Modi landed in Israel on the historic visit — the first by an Indian Prime Minister — to the time he left, there must have been more than half-a-dozen embraces between the two leaders.
