Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi captured attention at least three times during the Group of 20 summit. Modi managed to get MBS and US President Joe Biden to shake hands, with himself forming the third part of a triangle, in front of a Reuters photographer. Will MBS soften his hard-line position on oil production and work to ease global oil prices following the handshake? And the Reuters photo of MBS, Biden and Modi forming a triangle was the most powerful illustration of all. Nonetheless, the limelight of the summit declaration was later stolen by the sideshow of a multinational rail and ports deal to link up the Middle East and South Asia.
