These days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is completely dominating the platform of global diplomacy. While usually the big leaders of the two countries talk in a very measured and formal manner on serious diplomatic and economic issues, on Tuesday something unique was seen on the stage of India-Nordic Summit, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

Iceland Prime Minister Kristun Frostadottir used a pure Hindi word to create a deep and personal connection with India. He picked up a word from PM Modi’s speech and repeated it again and again and expressed how important India is for his country.

When the word ‘relation’ echoed on the stage and Nordic countries became fans of Modi

It was not a difficult word associated with heavy diplomatic agreements that brought the two countries very close, but a very lovely and pure Hindi word ‘Sambandh’. Iceland’s Prime Minister Kristun Frostadottir said, ‘We need deeper relations with India today.’ He liked this word the most because in Iceland also this word has exactly the same meaning as it has in our beloved India.

This whole interesting incident started when Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the conference. He spoke openly about the ever-deepening relations between India and the Nordic countries i.e. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. PM Modi had repeatedly used the word ‘relationship’ throughout his speech.

PM Modi said smiling from the stage, ‘Today I have used the word ‘relationship’ many times. In many Nordic languages ​​the word ‘relationship’ has exactly the same meaning as it does in Hindi – connection, relationship or a strong bond.’ PM Modi further expanded his point and said that this is not just the similarity of words from two different languages, but it shows the closeness of our thinking and respect for each other. Along with this, he also appealed to all Nordic countries to deepen this mutual connection in every field.

Immediately after this beautiful statement of Prime Minister Modi, as soon as Iceland’s Prime Minister Kristun Frostadottir took the stage, she supported PM Modi’s words with great warmth and open heart. He said that this word is very close to the hearts of the people of Iceland.

In today’s fragmented and tension-filled world, where many countries are fighting among themselves, the Prime Minister of Iceland openly admitted that what the world needs most at this time is not hatred but ‘relations’. He said, ‘It is also completely an Icelandic word and the people of our country are very dedicated to this language and this feeling. Prime Minister Modi, today’s stressful world really needs more ‘connection’.

New path will open for free trade and investment

The Prime Minister of Iceland not only talked about language and emotions from the stage, but she also laid full emphasis on the continuously growing economic and trade relations with India. He specifically cited the free trade agreements signed between India and the Nordic countries. Praising him, he said that due to the excellent efforts of PM Modi, there has been a huge increase in investment from Iceland to India. In the coming time, both the countries together can do something big in the field of trade, new technology and innovation.

India-Nordic countries’ great brainstorming for the future
