Modi tweets selfie with Li

Narendra Modi @narendramodi on Twitter: It's selfie time! Thanks Premier Li. 

This selfie taken by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chinese premier Li Keqiang during his current visit to China is now being cited by media as one of the most "power-packed selfie in history".

The Wall Street Journal titled its news report - 'Did Modi Just Take the Most Powerful Selfie in History.' M

The Times of India reports that Modi pulled out a smartphone during his visit to Beijing's Temple of Heaven and with Chinese premier Li Keqiang, took the shot.

"That put two of the most powerful people in countries with a combined population of around 2.5 billion people - more than one-third of humanity - in the same frame with no official photographer involved," the WSJ report said.

An article in Forbes said that the selfie, which had 2,200 shares within two hours of Modi posting it on his Twitter account, is being "billed the selfie of the world's two mightiest".
