Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is in Jakarta for an official visit to the Republic of Indonesia (May 29-31) at the invitation of H.E. Mr. Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia. His visit was eagerly awaited by the Indian diaspora in Indonesia.
A number of Indians in Indonesia enthusiastically awaited the arrival of PM Modi at the Hotel Ritz-Carlton, Mega Kuningan. The INDIA limousine with Indian and Indonesian flags arrived at the hotel, and as PM Modi alighted from the car, he heard the cheering from the waiting on the left hand side of the entrance. Instead of walking into the hotel, he walked towards the crowds where he shook hands with all. It was a wonderful first impression of this charismatic leader in Indonesia.
