Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires as part of his two -day visit late Friday evening, where he was given a grand traditional welcome. He was given a guard of honor at AGESA International Airport.
After this, when he reached the hotel, members of the Indian community welcomed him strongly with the slogans of “Modi-Modi” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. The Prime Minister was greeted with a cultural dance program.

He was formally welcomed when he reached the airport. It is the first bilateral visit of Argentina by an Indian Prime Minister in 57 years, which is the beginning of the new scholarship.
