External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying the respect for Indians living in the countries visited by him has grown.

"Where-ever Modi has addressed the local Indian communities during his visits to foreign countries, the Indians there are extremely happy. After the Prime Minister's visits, the Indians in those countries are feeling a great sense of pride and the respect for them has increased," Swaraj said.

She was speaking at Vishwa Sangh Shivir (world sangh camp) here.

She said the camp had earlier been held in India in 2000 when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was prime minister and now the country was holding it again when Modi is the PM.

The minister praised Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh - the group organising the camp - saying that it was making new generation familiar with rich Indian culture in foreign lands.

RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya too participated in the six-day camp which started yesterday where around 700 representatives from 45 countries are participating.
