This is the fourth leg of his five-nation visit. The prime minister was accorded a ceremonial welcome upon his arrival at the Galeao International Airport on Saturday evening (local time). “Hoping for a productive round of meetings and interactions during this visit,” Mr. Modi said in a post on X. The Prime Minister arrived in Brazil from Argentina, where he held wide-ranging talks with President Javier Milei and agreed to diversify two-way trade and ramp up cooperation in defence, critical minerals, pharmaceutical, energy and mining sectors.
Mr. Modi attendance at the BRICS Summit will be followed by a state visit, for which he will travel to Brasilia. It will be the first bilateral visit to the country by an Indian Prime Minister in nearly six decades.
