Impressed by Narendra Modi`s quick learning: President Pranab Mukherjee

Mumbai: President Pranab Mukherjee on Friday said he was impressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s way of dealing with things and his quick learning.

`He (Modi) has his own way of dealing with things and I must give him credit how quickly he picked up,` Mukherjee said at a conclave here.

He said it was noteworthy how without any prior experience in Parliament, Modi acquired mastery over complex international affairs and economic matters in no time.

`Every other Prime Minister from Charan Singh to Chandra Shekhar, all of them had profound experience in Parliament. But a man coming straight from a provincial government and acquiring mastery over foreign relations, complicated external economy... speaks volume of him,` Mukherjee said.

He mentioned how Prime Minister Modi was deftly handling the `informal but powerful` G-20 group that deals with `major issues of international finance, trade, sanctions`.
