Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Brussels for the first leg of his three nation tour of Belgium, United States and Saudi Arabia.

The PM will attend the 13th India-European Union summit in Brussels today.

He would also be holding bilateral talks with his Belgian counterpart Charles Michel and later in the day he will hold meetings with the Members of European Parliament, Indologists, Belgian CEOs as well as a wide cross section of the Indian diaspora in Belgium and he would also interact with the Board Members of the Association of Diamond Traders in Belgium.

This is Modi's first visit to Belgium.

India's ambassador to Belgium Manjeev Singh Puri asserted that PM's tour will improve trade and investment ties between the two nations.

Puri said India and Belgium share major economic relations and this visit of Modi will heavily boost the incumbent ties.
