Addressing the ‘Student Samvaad’ in Delhi, EAM Jaishankar said, “If you see the recent US visit of PM Modi, you saw that there were many prime ministers who visited the US but this visit of PM Modi was different. It was because PM Modi has a different image. He is a senior, experienced and credible leader. When PM Modi tries something or takes a position, its effect is seen in global politics. In the last 9 years, we have seen big changes in the world initiated by India,” said the EAM.
