Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his six-day four nation tour with what he called a "good interaction" with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The two leaders were seen enjoying a walk in the extensive lawns of the 18th Century Schloss Meseberg, Chancellor Merkel's official country retreat.

"The bonds of a fruitful partnership. Chancellor Merkel receives Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Schloss Messeberg before a private dinner," said a Ministry of External Affairs statement alongside images of the two leaders in conversation.

After the meeting, PM Modi tweeted: "Had a very good interaction with Chancellor Merkel"

The informal meeting was followed by a private dinner. The formal engagements of the Prime Minister's two-day visit will begin in the morning.

A formal welcome at the Chancellor's office will be followed by bilateral talks during the Fourth India-Germany Intergovernmental Consultations and interaction with top business leaders of both countries. The PM will also call on German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
