Munich/New Delhi, June 26 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in Munich earlier on Sunday to an enthusiastic welcome, will address a community programme in the Bavarian capital later today and also hold a bilateral meeting with the President of Argentina Alberto Fernandez and the Minister-President of Bavaria.
The PM will attend the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau in Germany tomorrow.
Soon after his arrival, the PM was treated to a musical performance by a Bavarian band at the airport.
Many members of the Indian community were present to greet the Prime Minister as he landed and clicked selfies with him and took his autograph.
The PM said in tweets:
“Glimpses from the special welcome in Munich.
“Landed in Munich to participate in the G-7 Summit. I look forward to fruitful discussions with world leaders during the Summit.
“The @G7 Summit awaits at Schloss Elmau in Germany, bringing together fellow democracies for deliberations on important global issues impacting humanity.”
In his departure statement yesterday, the PM said he looks forward to meeting members of the Indian diaspora.
His visit to Germany is the second in two months, as he had visited Berlin for the 6th edition of the Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC) on May 2.
The G7 is holding talks on the key topics of Energy transition, economic recovery and transformation, pandemic prevention and control, sustainable investments and infrastructure, and promotion of shared values of democracy.
“While in Germany, I also look forward to meeting members of the Indian Diaspora from across Europe, who are contributing immensely to their local economies as also enriching our relations with European countries,” he said.
On June 27 , PM Modi is to participate in two sessions along with other partner countries of G7 – one on climate energy and health and the second on food security and gender equality.
He will also make a brief stopover at UAE on way back on June 28.
