This time the G7 summit is being held in France. Prime Minister Modi has also arrived to attend. While waiting for the meeting of US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the G7 leaders discussed smoking. And during the meeting, Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni told the G7 leaders that he had quit smoking a month ago. Meloni told the group that he needed some coffee after waking up because he had quit smoking a month ago. European Council President Antonio Costa explained that he had quit smoking 21 years ago, in 2005.
The funny thing happened when German Chancellor Friedrich Mürz asked Meloni if he had ever smoked before? Meloni replied that he had not smoked since May 1. Merz applauded, and leaders from Canada, the UK, Japan and the EU also cheered him on. The summit’s cameras captured the lighthearted moment between the leaders.
It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump met at the G7 summit in Evian, France. The two leaders even shook hands. A bilateral meeting will be held between Prime Minister Modi and the US President tomorrow.
This year, along with India, countries like Brazil, Kenya, South Korea and Ukraine have also been invited to the G7 summit. In addition, in view of the ongoing tensions in West Asia, top leaders of the UAE, Qatar and Egypt have also been invited.
