PM Modi, Trump meet on sidelines

Evian (France), June 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump met and exchanged greetings on the sidelines of a G7 Summit outreach session in France’s Evian on Tuesday.

Both leaders shook hands and held a brief conversation ahead of the G7 working session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’ which is being attended by the G7 countries, partner nations, the World Bank, and the African Development Bank.

PM Modi and Trump are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting on Wednesday and hold discussions on economic growth, supply chains, Artificial Intelligence (AI), investment partnerships and a range of global security challenges.

This would be the first bilateral meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Modi after last year’s successful ‘Operation Sindoor’ against Pakistan.

The White House said Saturday that the meeting will be held before both leaders join a working lunch attended by the G7 leaders, outreach partners and technology executives.
