PM Modi reached Berlin on Monday, which is his first stop in the three-nation visit to Europe that includes Germany, Denmark and France.

The Indian leader received a grand welcome by the Indian diaspora in Germany. Amid his interaction with the Indians in Europe, a video of a small bot singing a patriotic song for PM Modi is going viral on social media.

PM Modi also interacted with a little girl who presented him with a portrait of his picture. He took a picture with the girl who called him her icon and also signed the portrait for her.

About the visit, this will be Prime Minister Modi’s first meeting with the newly elected chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The bilateral cooperation will be the focal point of the high-level meetings, but the situation in Ukraine may also come up during the discussions, said sources. One of the main agendas during the meeting would also be the post-Covid economic recovery.

Ministry of External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "On his first visit abroad this year, PM @narendramodi arrives to a warm reception in Berlin. Looking forward to reinvigorating the India-Germany Strategic Partnership, advancing our wide-ranging cooperation, and enhancing multilateral coordination."

Modi’s visit to Berlin will be an opportunity to hold detailed bilateral discussions with Chancellor Scholz, whom he met at G20 last year in his previous capacity as Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister.
