When PM Modi takes a position, its effect is seen in global politics, says EAM S Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that US visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was different as compared to other prime ministers who visited the country as PM Modi has a different image.

He said that when PM Modi tries something or takes a position, its effect is seen in global politics.

Addressing the 'Student Samvaad' in Delhi, EAM Jaishankar said, "If you see the recent US visit of PM Modi, you saw that there were many prime ministers who visited the US but this visit of PM Modi was different. It was because PM Modi has a different image. He is a senior, experienced and credible leader. When PM Modi tries something or takes a position, its effect is seen in global politics. In the last 9 years, we have seen big changes in the world initiated by India," said the EAM.
