सम्मानों की कूटनीति
इस बात पर विवाद तो हो सकता है, लेकिन भारत के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी कई देशों की सरकारों द्वारा सबसे अधिक सम्मानित किए जाने वाले राज्याध्यक्ष हैं और ये सम्मान उन्हें पांच वर्ष से भी कम समय में मिले हैं। उन्हें मिलने वाले सबसे नए सम्मान की घोषणा पिछले हफ्ते ही रूसी महासंघ के राष्ट्रपति पुतिन ने की, जब प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को दोनों देशों के बीच विशेष एवं गौरवपूर्ण साझेदारी तैयार करने में विशिष्ट उपलब्धि हासिल करने के लिए सर्वोच्च नागरिक सम्मान ‘ऑर्डर ऑफ सेंट एंड्र्यू द अपासल’ से सम्मानित किया गया। उन्हें यह सम्मान दो हफ्ते पहले ही संयुक्त अरब अमीरात द्वारा दिए गए सर्वोच्च सम्मान ‘ऑर्डर ऑफ जायद या
