Chile President Gabriel Boric Font, who is on a visit to India as the two countries celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations, heaped praises on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address at the Rashtrapati Bhawan on Tuesday.
Commending PM Narendra Modi’s diplomatic prowess, Gabriel Boric Font said he is the only leader in the world who can talk to every other leader, be it Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, or Vladimir Putin. “ PM Modi has a weird status nowadays that he can talk to every leader of the world, Mr Putin, Mr Trump, Mr Zelensky, and the European Union, and Latin American leaders in BRICS or Iran,” he said.
“That is something that no other leader can do now. You (PM Modi) are a key player in the geopolitical atmosphere nowadays,” the Chile President added.
Boric also hailed India’s democratic values and said that India is committed to bringing peace to the world. “India is the biggest democracy in the world. In India, there is separation of powers. In India, there is freedom of expression. In India, you’re fighting against poverty and inequality. In India, you’re committed with peace in the world,” he said.
Boric, who is on a state visit to India for the first time, expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome and said Chile wants to work on its relationship with India.
