Schloss Elmau (Germany): Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in conversation with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Suddenly someone tapped on his shoulder from behind. PM Modi casually turned his face back, and it took him a second to realise that it was no one else but US President Joe Biden.

In an instance of bonhomie between the leaders of the two largest democracies of the world that caught the eye of viewers, US President Joe Biden walked up to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to greet him at the venue of the Group of Seven (G7) Summit at Schloss Elmau, Germany on Monday.


Prime Minister Modi is attending this year's summit being held under the German Presidency. India is among the five partner countries invited to attend the G7 Summit.
