Following the meeting, Modi tweeted: "Glad to have met President Katerina Sakellaropoulou in Athens. We discussed several issues which will strengthen the India-Greece friendship. We also discussed ways to boost sustainable development. She congratulated India on the success of Chandrayaan-3."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes at the ‘Tomb of Unknown Soldier’ in Athens on Friday.

"Prime Minister laid a wreath at the ‘Tomb of Unknown Soldier'," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

He, thereafter, inspected a ceremonial Guard of Honour.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Greece to hold bilateral talks with his counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis to further deepen the relationship between the two nations.

He is also expected to meet President Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

Modi is visiting Greece at the invitation of his Greek counterpart, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

This is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Greece in 40 years.

Modi arrived in the Greek capital from South Africa this morning, where he attended the 15th BRICS Summit and held bilateral meetings with several world leaders to further cement India's relations with those countries.

After his arrival, members of the Indian diaspora accorded a warm welcome to PM Modi outside the hotel in Athens where he will stay during his one-day official visit.
