Washington, United States:
According to a survey by Morning Consult, Prime Minister Narendra Modi still tops the global ratings among world leaders with an approval rating of 76 percent.
According to the American consultancy firm’s ‘Global Leader Approval Rating Tracker’, 76 percent of people approve of Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, while 18 percent disapprove and six percent express no opinion.
Remarkably, this is a huge number, as the second-best approval ratings are achieved by Swiss President Alain Berset (64 percent) and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (61 percent).
Prime Minister Modi also topped the rankings in previous ratings.
US President Joe Biden has 40 percent approval, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has 37 percent, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak got 27 percent and French President Emmanuel Macron only 24 percent.
India recently successfully hosted the G20 Summit in the national capital, which was attended by over 40 world leaders and their delegations.
At the Leader’s Summit, the New Delhi Declaration was adopted unanimously and with full consensus. A major highlight of the declaration was aligning all world powers and forging consensus on an issue as divisive as the war between Russia and Ukraine.
At the end of the summit, Prime Minister Modi handed over the gavel to Brazilian President Lula da Silva and also proposed to hold a virtual G20 session in November to discuss the suggestions and proposals made at the premier forum for international economic cooperation .
During the Indian presidency, raising the voice of the South and developing countries has been at the forefront of New Delhi’s agenda. The Indian theme for the G20 chairmanship was also ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’, the Sanskrit translation of which reads as ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’.
Prime Minister Modi stated that the Indian G20 Presidency has become a symbol of inclusivity both within and outside the country, adding that it has become the “People’s G20” in India and millions of citizens are associated with it.
An important and historic achievement of India’s chairmanship of the G20 summit is the inclusion of the African Union as a permanent member of the Group of 20 (G20).
