PM Modi Surprises US Vice President JD Vance’s Children With Special Gifts From India

PM Narendra Modi paid a visit to France on 10th February for the AI Action Summit where he met US Vice President JD Vance and French President Emmanuel Macron. He also joined the Vance family for their son’s birthday celebration. PM Modi’s thoughtful gift garnered a lot of attention and won millions of hearts.

He gifted a handcrafted wooden alphabet set to Vice President JD Vance’s daughter Mirabel Rose Vance. The eco-friendly gift, which is designed for children aged 3 and above, contains 56 letters and a stamp pad with four different colours, which help in improving spelling and sentence formation. 

PM Modi also gifted a jigsaw puzzle to Mirabel’s brother Vivek. What made it even more special is that the puzzle showcased Indian folk paintings, including a painting of West Bengal’s Kalighat Pat which is known for its vibrant colours and mythical depictions, Santhal painting, which is painted using earthy tones and natural pigments by the Santhal tribe and Madhubani Painting, a traditional art form from Mithila Bihar which uses bright tones and mythological/nature-inspired motifs. 

Had a wonderful meeting with US @VP @JDVance and his family. We had a great conversation on various subjects. Delighted to join them in celebrating the joyous birthday of their son, Vivek!

Vice President JD Vance responded to PM Modi’s post with appreciation. “Prime Minister Modi was gracious and kind, and our kids really enjoyed the gifts. I’m grateful to him for the wonderful conversation.” he wrote.
