Among BJP supporters, a whopping 84 per cent are of the opinion that the Prime Minister is now a genuine world leader. In contrast, 45 per cent of those who support opposition parties seem to disagree with the contention.
The question asked during the snap poll was: In your opinion, after this state visit, has PM Modi emerged as a genuine world leader?
Overall, six out of every 10 respondents are of the opinion that Modi has indeed become a genuine world leader, while about 30 per cent of the respondents disagreed with the contention.
In recent times, Prime Minister Modi has received lavish praise from heads of state of the US, UK, France, Japan and Australia among other nations. Visuals of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea touching Modi's feet had gone viral in May this year.
Prime Minister Modi also wrapped the 'highly successful state visit' to the US that has resulted in many pathbreaking agreements in the defence, telecom, semi conductor, energy, education and other frontier technology sectors including space exploration and quantum computing.
During the state visit, Modi became the first Indian leader to address a joint session of the US Congress on two occasions. Apart from meeting dozens of CEOs of multinationals, the Prime Minister also addressed the Indian diaspora twice in New York and Washington.
As many as 71 percent of the respondents in the CVoter snap poll answered in the affirmative that Modi could project India's Soft Power pretty well and less than a quarter of them disagreed. A total of 58.3 percent of those who support and vote for opposition parties agreed with the contention.
In Egypt, Prime Minister Modi met with Tarek Heggy, renowned Egyptian author and petroleum strategist on 24 June 2023, in Cairo. "Discussions between the two covered issues related to global geopolitics, energy security, radicalism and gender equality," an MEA statement said.
Modi met the Grand Mufti of Egypt, His Eminence Dr. Shawky Ibrahim Allam.
The Grand Mufti fondly recalled his recent visit to India, and highlighted the strong cultural and people to people relations between India and Egypt. The Grand Mufti also appreciated the Prime Minister’s leadership in fostering inclusivity and pluralism.
Discussions also focused on issues related to social and religious harmony in society and countering extremism and radicalization. Prime Minister conveyed that India would set up a Centre of Excellence in IT at the Dar-al-Ifta under the Ministry of Social Justice of Egypt.
"Honoured to have met the Grand Mufti of Egypt, His Eminence Prof. Shawky Ibrahim Allam. Had enriching discussions on India-Egypt ties, notably cultural and people-to-people linkages," PM later tweeted.
After meeting Indian diaspora and several Bohra Muslims among them, the Prime Minister tweeted: "Deeply moved by the warm welcome from the Indian diaspora in Egypt. Their support and affection truly embody the timeless bonds of our nations. Also noteworthy was people from Egypt wearing Indian dresses. Truly, a celebration of our shared cultural linkages".
