“The two leaders are discussing ways to strengthen India-UK cooperation,” the Twitter post continued.
He also met the Secretary-General of United Nations Antonio Guterres.
He was later received by the France President Emmanuel Macron on his arrival at Hôtel du Palais, where the G-7 Summit will be held tomorrow.
At the summit, Modi is expected to speak during sessions on the environment, climate, oceans, and digital transformation, besides also holding bilaterals with leaders of other countries participating in the two-day summit being held here.
India is not a member country of the G-7, and the invitation to participate in the summit was extended by France.
