While serious faces, formal meetings and strict protocols are usually seen in world politics, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has set a different trend among all this. Sometimes she is gifted a toffee, sometimes a leader sits on his knees to welcome her and amid all this, social media has made her the “Queen of Viral Diplomacy”. Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted her Melody toffee, after which “Melodi” (Modi + Meloni) meme again started trending on the internet and users even described it as “Diplomacy level: Melody”.

Edi Rama welcomed him on his knees and Macron hugged him.

Earlier, Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama had knelt down to welcome Meloni at the European Summit, as soon as the video went viral, users wrote “Respect level 100” and “Meloni effect is real.” Her eye-roll moment with French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 also went viral on the internet, on which people said, “This is the reaction of every office meeting.” Apart from this, during a summit held in Paris, Macron, showing warmth, hugged Meloni tightly and gave a ‘greeting kiss’ on both her cheeks. Melonie looked a little surprised and uncomfortable with this aggressive and unique way of welcoming Macron, but later both of them smiled and handled the moment comfortably.
