Modi's 'Car Diplomacy' Drives Stronger Ties: From Putin to Ethiopian PM

• PM Modi's "car diplomacy" began with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Tianjin, gaining international attention.
• Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed Ali personally received Modi, drove him, and conferred Ethiopia's highest award.
• Jordanian Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II personally drove Modi to a museum and dropped him at the airport.
• These gestures, often breaking protocol, highlight Modi's personal diplomacy and strengthen bilateral relations.
• The trend continued with Modi sharing a ride with Putin in India, further cementing "car diplomacy."
