Modi's India Finds an Unlikely Ally in Italy's Meloni Giorgia Meloni's ascension to Italy's longest continuously serving prime minister since World War II has set off a chain reaction of diplomatic niceties, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being one of the first to congratulate her.

The Special Strategic Partnership launched by Modi and Meloni last year recognized the significant economic and trade opportunities between the two countries.
