The dominance of Prime Minister Modi

Him being declared the leader with the highest approval rate also says a lot about the international acceptance of the Indian leader. India has also developed great relations with countries like Japan, France, Germany, Brazil, Australia and many more. Not only with individual countries but India’s position in various multi-lateral organizations has also improved. India is recognized as a strong and powerful nation and its stance is heard and respected.

Narendra Modi reign: India pioneering in foreign policy/international relations
Not only Prime Minister himself, but his tenure has also enabled other India leaders and specially the foreign ministry to take a big leap in the actions it takes. Also India’s diplomats in multi-lateral organizations like the United Nations, are able to take confident and strong stances. Dr. S. Jaishankar global position today is a big proof. The Indian leaders are now recognized and respected around the world.
A large credit for the independence and reputation of Indian diplomats, around the world, must be given to Prime Minister Modi. He has been successful in creating a strong image of India before the world.
