The friendship between Narendra Modi and Giorgia Meloni — fondly dubbed ‘Melodi’ by social media — has become one of the most talked-about equations in global politics. From viral G20 and G7 moments to PM Modi writing the foreword for Meloni’s memoir I Am Giorgia — My Roots, My Principles, the camaraderie between the two leaders continues to capture global attention. Beyond the memes and internet buzz, the India-Italy partnership is also growing strategically, with bilateral trade touching nearly 16.77 billion dollars.
