Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s selfie with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, hailed by western media as one of the most “power-packed selfie”, has got over 31 million hits on his account on Chinese microblogging site Weibo.
Modi, who is one of the world’s most followed leaders on Twitter with 12.3 million followers, debuted on the Chinese social media platform just ahead of his visit to China that began on May 14.
The number of followers of Modi’s Weibo account has gone up to over 1.65 lakh, Indian officials here said.
The selfie Modi took with Li and posted it on his Weibo account after attending a Yoga-Tai Chi event has registered 31.85 million hits, they said.
The iconic Modi-Li selfie has been hailed by the western media as one of the most “power-packed selfie in history”.
Modi has previously clicked selfies with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in November during his trip to Australia, and another with Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj on Sunday.
