In global politics, friendship is not just about smiles and handshakes; It is hidden behind big decisions, global agreements and strategic trust. When a country signs a historic agreement after 18 years of negotiations, the question arises: What kind of diplomatic power is at work? The new free trade agreement between India and the European Union tells the story of this power, which is deeply rooted in the global friendship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
PM Modi’s credibility on the global stage
India’s growing international credibility plays an important role in this “Mother of All Deals” agreement. In recent years, PM Modi has built relationships with big and influential world leaders that are not just formal, but based on trust. This is the reason why today India is playing a decisive role on important issues like trade, defence, energy and technology.

US President Donald Trump has described Prime Minister Modi as his close friend on many occasions. Be it ‘Howdy Modi’ events or large gatherings of the Indian community in America, the chemistry between the two leaders has always been a topic of discussion. Although there have been some disagreements between the two countries over tariffs recently, Trump publicly called Modi a strong and honest leader, giving a new dimension to India-US relations.
Vladimir Putin
The friendship between Russian President Vladimir Putin and PM Modi is considered special in international politics. From energy agreements to defense cooperation, relations between the two countries have been stable and trusting. Putin taking Modi in his personal car during the SCO summit and PM Modi taking Putin in his car during his visit to India shows the depth of this relationship, which is based not only on diplomacy but also on mutual respect.
Georgia Meloni
The friendship between Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and PM Modi has trended under the name “Melody” on social media. The spontaneous interactions between the two leaders at major forums like G7 and G20 further strengthened India’s soft power. Meloni calling Modi “the best” takes India’s global image to new heights.
Lula da Silva and Macron
Brazilian President Lula da Silva has given a new impetus to India-Brazil relations by conferring his country’s highest civilian honor on Prime Minister Modi. At the same time, Modi’s relations with French President Emmanuel Macron have gone beyond defense deals and have now reached technology and innovation. Collaboration between the two countries in areas like AI and clean energy is shaping the future.
India’s growing influence in Asia and Europe
From British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, many leaders have openly praised India’s policies and have friendly relations with Prime Minister Modi.
