“If a ‘Pravasi Bharatiya’ gets stuck anywhere in world, they are confident that the government will save them. Relief is just one tweet away,” the minister said.
“What was never a priority in embassies, has become top priority now. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made overseas Indians proud and the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) made them confident,” she added.
Swaraj has been extremely popular on social media platforms, especially Twitter, for her prompt response to SOS posts from across the world, over problems ranging from passports and visas to crises in violence-hit nations. She is also reportedly among the most followed women politicians on Twitter.
“External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s visit to Vietnam and Cambodia is part of New Delhi’s plan to ‘add dynamism to India’s Act East policy’,” foreign ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.
