Expert in diplomacy, liberal right-wing face… Why is Georgia Meloni attracting the world’s attention in the G7 conference?
The heads of seven developed countries of the world arrived at the G7 summit held in Apulia, Italy. These heads of state of America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom have their own influence in the world, but among all these big leaders, the name and face that is making the most headlines is that of Georgia Meloni. Those who know Meloni closely say that she has so much warmth that she can win anyone’s heart. Her smile and her bright blue eyes mesmerize the person in front. But Georgia Meloni is equally smart politically and diplomatically. She is so aware of ideology and diplomacy that today she has become a famous personality in Europe. Meloni has made it felt very well by making a mark in the European Union elections.
Italy is the host country in the G7 Summit 2024, so Georgia Meloni’s warmth and readiness is inevitable. Not only is she present in every scene of this summit, but she is also the central attraction of every scene, brimming with confidence. For the last two days, she has been meeting the heads of these seven countries in Apulia and holding bilateral talks. The important thing is that the heads of state of these seven countries are men and a woman Prime Minister has surprised the world with her hospitality. Today she has become a shining star of Europe.
Why is only Georgia seen in G7?
The important question is how did Georgia Meloni become so efficient? Looking at her charm and smartness, Ivo Daalder, who worked as the US ambassador to NATO during the tenure of former US President Barack Obama, even said that except Meloni, all the leaders in the G7 summit look quite dull. Although this statement can be called an exaggeration, but in many ways the example of diplomacy that Georgia Meloni has set in many countries of the world including Europe, gives her the status of a winning leader.
The purpose of inviting Prime Minister Modi
The pictures of the summit show that Georgia Meloni has become very important in the G7 countries. Look at the power of her diplomatic skills. Lok Sabha elections were going on in India but at the same time she invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the conference as the chief guest. Meloni knows that India is not a permanent member of G7 but she considers the presence of Prime Minister Modi in that conference necessary. Actually, the way right-wing politics has risen in Europe and Meloni has emerged as a big leader in it, she wants to link the presence of Prime Minister Modi with her increasing power and also wants to show it to the world.
PM Modi And Giorgia Meloni
The liberal face of the right wing in European countries
Giorgia Meloni, who considers Mussolini as her idol, is the liberal face of the right wing power group today. Her diplomacy belongs to the liberal center-right stream. There is a possibility of consensus to a great extent in this stream. Because such a stream can act as a bridge between the extreme right and the center-right. This is considered to be a big reason for Meloni’s increasing influence. She has charm as well as power.
However, this popularity and acceptance of Meloni is not an overnight event. When she became the Prime Minister in 2022, experts had expressed deep concern about the neo-fascist history of her Brothers of Italy party. There was also a fear of Italy being isolated, but Meloni improved his image, adopted a liberal stance and then changed the perception of the people. Meloni strengthened relations with European countries including America. Especially regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, he distanced himself from other far-right leaders. This also helped him stand among Western leaders.
How did Meloni’s party become the kingmaker of Europe?
It is noteworthy that Meloni’s party has won the European elections by a good margin. France lost. This is the reason why Meloni’s right wing party is growing rapidly in Italy today. Georgia recently said that Italy can change Europe. Experts say that the growing popularity of Meloni and his party Brothers of Italy is also connecting people who are not supporters of his ideology, because he has adopted a liberal approach. It is not easy to oppose it strongly.
Obviously, its effect was also seen on the European Union elections. Meloni’s party’s seats in the power of the European Union of 27 countries have now doubled. That is, a big increase in its strength was seen. The right-wing stance on the issue of migration and climate prevailed over everyone.
India and Italy relations and Modi-Meloni
India and Italy relations are very old. The civilization of both countries is ancient. But a political relationship was formed between the two countries in 1947. The first Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru visited Italy in 1953 and 1955. But important relations between the two countries strengthened during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Prime Minister Modi visited Italy in October 2021 for the G20 Summit. Then talks were held on increasing cooperation in areas like energy and textiles. But after the victory of Georgia Meloni in September 2022, India-Italy relations got a new flight. Cooperation in areas such as green economy, energy security, defense-co-production, blue economy, space was also discussed when Meloni visited India on 2-3 March 2023.

Warning to Iran from Italian soil, what warning did the 7 most powerful countries of the world give?
The conference of the 7 most powerful countries of the world (G7) was held in Italy. Many important issues of the world were discussed in this summit, but the focus was on the Russia-Ukraine war and the Gaza war. Iran’s big role has come to the fore in both the wars, for which it has now received a warning from the G7 as well. The G-7 leaders on Friday warned Iran not to give ballistic missiles to Russia. This warning has been given at a time when a day earlier, the strategic agreement between the two countries has been stopped due to some problems from Iran’s side.
Iran and Russia have come closer after the Ukraine war and the increasing sanctions of Western countries on both the countries. According to reports, Iran has supplied hundreds of kamikaze drones to Russia in the Ukraine war, and it is also reported that Iran is considering giving its ballistic missiles to Russia.
What did the G7 countries say?

Later, Britain’s Defense Secretary Grant Shapps also reiterated this claim.
