Modi to attend Asean summit, but virtually
Hindustan Times East UP
|October 24, 2025
India and Malaysia announced on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the Asean-India Summit virtually, with the PM skipping the regional gathering in Kuala Lumpur due to scheduling and other issues and external affairs minister S Jaishankar representing the country at several key meetings.
The development was announced on social media by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Modi, who was earlier expected to travel to Kuala Lumpur on October 25 to participate in meetings related to the Asean Summit.
"Had a warm conversation with my dear friend, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia. Congratulated him on Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship and conveyed best wishes for the success of upcoming Summits," Modi said on social media.
"Look forward to joining the ASEAN-India Summit virtually, and to further deepening of the ASEAN-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership," he said.

Asrani & the trap of the Bollywood stereotype
What will you remember Asrani for? Sholay? Abhimaan? Since the death of the veteran actor was announced, a lot of obituaries and fan-posts on social media have mentioned his iconic dialogue from Sholay \"Hum angrezon ke zamane ke jailer hain\" (I am a jailor of the British era). Asrani acted in more than 300 films in Hindi and Gujarati. Some small, some big.
