Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday arrived in Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires to attend the G-20 summit where he will discuss ways to meet the new and upcoming challenges of the coming decade with other world leaders, including US President Donald Trump.
"After a 24hr journey, PM @narendramodi arrives in Buenos Aires for the #G20Summit. The next 48 hrs will witness PM's participation at the Summit as well as in many other plurilateral and bilateral meetings on the margins of the Summit," MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted.
The Prime Minister was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of Indian diaspora at the hotel in Buenos Aires. He waved at the crowd and shook hands with the people in the hotel lobby as they raised 'Modi, Modi' slogans.
Modi will be in Buenos Aires from November 29 to December 1.
On the sidelines of the two-day 13th G-20 summit, Modi, Trump and Japanese Premier Shinzo Abe will hold a trilateral meeting amidst China flexing its muscles in the strategic Indo-Pacific region. The trilateral, which would be an expansion of the bilateral meeting between Trump and Abe, is part of the series of meetings the US president would have on the sidelines of the G-20 summit on November 30 and December 1.
Modi will also meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the sidelines of the event, the Ministry of External Affairs had said on the eve of his departure.
Modi will also meet UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Argentinian President Mauricio Macri, Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, along with the prime ministers of Spain, Jamaica, the Netherlands and the president of the European Union and the European Council.
A bilateral meeting between Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron is also being worked out.
Modi will make a pitch to countries who are not within the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn to join the International Solar Alliance.
