Prime Minister Narendra Modi added a touch of humor to the 51st G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, by joking with French President Emmanuel Macron: "Nowadays, you are fighting on Twitter?" The remark, referencing Macron’s digital exchange with former U.S. President Trump, drew laughter and became a viral moment on social media . It showcased Modi’s deft mix of wit and diplomatic charm, resonating widely online as memes and comments applauded his tact and timing.

The punchline also underscored deeper tensions. Modi later took a serious tone in a phone call with Trump, firmly refuting as "fiction" the American leader's claim that Washington had brokered the recent India‑Pakistan ceasefire. Modi clarified the agreement resulted from direct military-level dialogue and occurred at Pakistan's request . That exchange marked a rare moment of direct, candid pushback by India against claims of third-party mediation.

From playful banter to firm diplomacy, Modi’s G7 presence combined levity with strategic clarity - capturing global attention on both social media and statecraft.
