When the PM reached the dais during the conference, he noticed Indian Tricolour which was kept on the ground to mark the standing positions of the leaders. As soon as PM Modi reached the stage, he respected the tricolour and picked it up and kept it with him. Seeing PM Modi's respect for the tricolour of his country, the President of South Africa Ramaphosa who had already stepped on his flag, followed him and also raised the flag of his country and kept it with him.
