United States Vice-President J.D. Vance has heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his warmth and hospitality during his recent four-day visit to India, sharing an endearing anecdote about his seven-year-old son, Ewan.
Speaking in Jaipur, Mr Vance recalled a special dinner hosted by PM Modi for his family.
“The food was so good and he was so kind to our three children. Ewan came to me afterwards and said, ‘Dad, I think I can live in India,’” Mr Vance said.
Vance described Modi as a “special person,” reflecting on the Prime Minister’s gesture earlier this year when he surprised Mr Vance’s second son, Vivek, with a birthday gift in Paris.
The vice-president noted the special rapport his children – Ewan, Vivek, and three-year-old daughter Mirabel – developed with Mr Modi, calling the experience “genuinely touching”.
