New Delhi, Dec 13 (Inditop.com) A tripartite meeting on Twitter? That’s what happened among the foreign ministers of Bahrain, Egypt and India.
Bahrain’s Khalid bin Ahmad Al Khalifa sat with his Egyptian counterpart, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, at a cafe in Bahrain last week and ‘tweeted’ with Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor.
“My friend Ahmad (the Egyptian minister) and I had dinner at cafe Italia. lovely atmosphere and lively talk. we tweeted with @ShashiTharoor while there,” Al Khalifa posted on Twitter.
A day later, Tharoor tweeted back, “Trilateral meeting”!
In one of Al Khalifa’s early posts, he joked he had joined the social networking tool inspired by Tharoor. “you converted me to twitter..but i remain a good Muslim,” he tweeted. Since then, the Bahraini foreign minister has tweeted a lot about India and bilateral ties.
“Every Bahraini has some kind of a connect to India. be it travel, friendship, education, or maybe love of bollywood and bhangra beats,” he said in an India-related post.
