Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brasilia on Tuesday to chart new pathways for expanding and diversifying trade between India and Brazil.
“Held fruitful talks with President Lula, who has always been passionate about the India-Brazil friendship. Our talks included ways to deepen trade ties and diversify bilateral trade. We both agree that there is immense scope for such linkages to thrive in the coming times,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
“Clean energy, sustainable development and overcoming climate change were also prominent topics of discussion. Other areas where we will work even more closely include defence, security, AI and agriculture. India-Brazil cooperation in space, semiconductors and DPI will benefit our people,” PM Modi added.
Earlier in the day, Lula welcomed PM Modi at the Alvorada Palace in Brasilia, where he was given a ceremonial reception featuring a 114-horse escort for his car.
The two leaders then held a restricted-format meeting, followed by delegation-level discussions and the signing of agreements.
