Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni clicked a selfie on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy. On Friday, the Prime Minister arrived in Apulia, southern Italy, to attend the Outreach session of the G7 Summit.

Meloni later shared the selfie video later on X.  

The 'Melodi' moment was shared as a video by Giorgia Meloni.

PM Modi held bilateral talks on a wide range of issues with world leaders on the sidelines of the summit. During their meeting, Modi and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni discussed defence and security cooperation and hoped to further enhance the defence industrial collaboration.

India is not a member of the G7, but Modi attended the summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Meloni. Several other non-member states were also extended invites. This was Modi's first foreign trip after becoming prime minister for a third term earlier this month.

"​The two sides discussed bilateral defence and security cooperation and hoped for further enhancing the defence industrial collaboration," said a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

The two leaders welcomed the forthcoming visit of Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour and training ship ITS Vespucci to India later this year.

PM Modi thanked the Italian Government for recognising the Indian Army’s contribution to the Italian Campaign during WW-II and said New Delhi will be upgrading the Yashwant Ghadge Memorial at Montone in Italy. They noted with satisfaction the regular political dialogue and reviewed progress of the India-Italy Strategic Partnership.

The Italian PM congratulated Modi for his third consecutive term as Prime Minister, and the latter thanked her for the invitation to participate in G7 Outreach Summit and conveyed his appreciation for the successful conclusion of the Summit.

The G7 comprises the US, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Canada and Japan. Italy is holding the current presidency of the G7 (Group of Seven), hosting the 2024 summit in that capacity.
