South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa hailed Chandryaan-3's success as his country's own and, after the landing, said he wanted to be seated next to Prime Minister Modi so the space mission's 'good vibes' "rubs off" on him.
Chandrayaan-3. The answer to the question - 'Why did South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa want to sit next to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS Summit in that country last week?"
The $75 million Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission has been acclaimed by space agencies and governments across the world and, as External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told NDTV Tuesday, it also prompted several positive reactions from BRICS leaders during events in Johannesburg.
The South African President - who hailed the landing as his country's own - declared after the landing he wanted to be seated next to Prime Minister Modi so Chandrayaan's 'good vibes' "rubs off" on him.
