Yes, but I hope this isn't just a photo op. We need real results on trade and technology partnerships, especially with neighbouring countries. Actions speak louder than speeches. 😕

I appreciate that they included yoga in the conference! Our ancient practices have so much to offer modern diplomacy—stress relief for our ambassadors dealing with all the tension around the world. 😄

The 3Ts—Trade, Technology, Tourism—are exactly what India needs to focus on. But we also need to address human rights issues and diplomatic transparency. Our image abroad matters for all these goals.

Viksit Bharat by 2047 is a bold vision! Our ambassadors and high commissioners need to work hard to build India's brand globally. Let's hope the brainstorming sessions were truly productive and not just talk.

Good to see the PM personally guiding the diplomats. With all the geopolitical instability right now, India needs strong leadership. Hopefully our missions can leverage our growing influence in the Global South. 👏

I wonder how much of this diplomacy reaches the common man. Trade deals are great, but what about our farmers and small businesses? Hope the 3Ts don't just benefit big corporations. A little more grassroots connection would be nice
