“On board the world-class Delhi Metro with President Moon Jae-in. We are headed to Noida…do not miss the iconic Akshardham Temple in the background! @moonriver365,” wrote the PM on Twitter.

 

Before leaving for Noida, the PM accompanied the South Korean President to the Gandhi Smriti in New Delhi where the two paid respects to Mahatma Gandhi and rang the peace gong.

Earlier today, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met President Moon and discussed ways to elevate the Special Strategic Partnership between the two countries by expanding ties across several sectors.

“Shared commitment to values of democracy, open society and liberal international order! EAM @SushmaSwaraj called on President of Republic of Korea, Moon Jae-in. Positive discussion on further elevating the Special Strategic Partnership by expanding ties across several sectors,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a tweet.
