Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, days after assuming office for his third term, participated in the G7 Summit in Italy, at the invitation of Italian PM Meloni.

PM Modi held a bilateral meeting with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, where they discussed defence and security cooperation between the two countries.

At the summit, Meloni shared a reel that went viral across social media platforms. In the video, Meloni says, "Hello from the Melodi team" as PM Modi waves at the camera, while both leaders are seen laughing candidly.

India is celebrating its 78th Independence Day today, marking 77 years of freedom from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag on Thursday at the Red Fort in the national capital for the 11th consecutive time on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day.

The theme for this year's Independence Day is 'Viksit Bharat @ 2047,' aiming to drive the government's efforts to transform India into a developed nation by 2047. (ANI)
