“I’m coming to Italy!” This is the tweet, in Italian, of the spokesman for the Indian Foreign Ministry announcing the landing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Rome, which kicks off four days marked before the participation in the G20, where the Indian Prime Minister hopes to find a meeting point in dealing with the Afghan crisis; a difficult half hour with the Pope on Saturday morning at 8.30; and then on a flight to Glasgow to tackle the climate issue for COP26 and say what India, still too dependent on coal, intends to do to correct the course.
