External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said that India's prestige in the international arena has risen "dramatically" in the last one year, catapulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi among the top leaders of the world. "It is no mean achievement that in just one year of his tenure, our Prime Minister has emerged as one of the front ranking leaders of the world," Swaraj said here. Swaraj, who is here to participate in programmes to mark completion of Modi government's one year in office, attributed the rise in India's prestige abroad to the "candour" with which the Prime Minister is dealing with neighbouring countries like China and the role played by the country in tackling the crises in Ukraine, Iraq, Libya and Yemen.
