South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed his thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday for sending him some “Modi jackets”, a vest-like sleeveless jacket the leader usually dons.
Moon uploaded photos of him wearing the jackets in a Twitter posting, saying they “fit great”.
인도 모디 총리 @narendramodi 께서 멋진 옷을 보내왔습니다. 인도 전통의상을 한국에서도 쉽게 입을 수 있도록 개량한 모디 자켓인데, 너무 잘 맞습니다. 인도 방문 때 모디 총리의 옷이 멋있다고 했더니 특별히 저의 치수에 맞춰 보내주셨습니다. 후의에 감사드립니다. pic.twitter.com/IsX7W48ijA

“This is a Modi jacket modified from a traditional Indian outfit so that it can be worn with ease in South Korea too,” Moon said in the message cited by Yonhap news agency.
