German Chancellor greeted French head of the State by NAMASTE to maintain social distance as a Indian I feel proud of it . Both Germany and France are great friends of India .In Germany Sanskrit language is patron and Culture by Germans from long time onwards .

It does the heart good to see two responsible, steady, and decent political leaders. They act in a civilized manner. Who would ever have thought that Germany and France together would lead the world. They just need a little bit of Canada to make things perfect. Thank you Deutsch Welle, as always.

The Asian way of greeting is always the safest and easiest. I call it the non-contact polite greeting.

Canada, New Zealand and France two countries which made sure that Top Government executives are intelligent, collaborative and good looking 🥰

The beauty of EU is helping one another. You cant find anything like this is any part of the world. So critics should think before they say that EU sucks because the fact that it keeps EU from kicking each others butt is good enough.
