Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazilian President Lula da Silva engaged in bilateral discussions on May 21 during the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan.
In a tweet, the Indian premier said, “The talks with President Lula da Silva were productive and wide-ranging. India and Brazil will keep working together to deepen trade ties. We also discussed diversifying cooperation in sectors like agriculture, defence and more.”
Prime Minister Modi, along with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and other leaders, paid homage to the victims of Hiroshima at Peace Memorial Park in Japan. PM Modi, on the third day of his visit to Japan, went to the Peace Memorial Museum and viewed the documented exhibits and signed the visitor’s book. PM Modi is the first Indian leader to visit Hiroshima, the first city to experience a nuclear bomb.
In addition to meeting the Brazilian leader, PM Modi had a meeting with the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during the G7 summit. On May 20, he engaged in bilateral meetings with several world leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Indonesian President Joko Widodo and his wife, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
