After attending the summit, PM Modi said, “Interacted with several world leaders and participated in a memorable community program in Munich. We were able to discuss many issues aimed at furthering global well-being and prosperity.”
He presented leaders of G7 and other participants with various gifts displaying India’s rich art and crafts, particularly, those related to Uttar Pradesh’s one district one product scheme.
