Earlier this morning, Modi took to Twitter to welcome all the heads of states, who arrived for the BRICS summit and BIMSTEC outreach meet in Goa.
“India welcomes you, President Putin! Wishing you a fruitful India visit,” he tweeted early this morning even as Putin’s flight was diverted to Mumbai.
The tweet was repeated in Russian language by the Prime Minister.
South African President Jacob Zuma was also greeted with a tweet by the Prime Minister.
“A warm welcome to you, @SAPresident. Looking forward to fruitful deliberations in the coming days,” Modi said.
Giving an Indian touch to his tweet welcoming Brazilian President Michel Temer, who was the second head of state to arrive here, Modi tweeted, “Namaste Presidente @MichelTemer! Welcome to India for the @BRICS2016 summit.”
The Prime Minister was received at the airport last night by Governor Mridula Sinha, Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar and others. He was welcomed at the resort in South Goa’s Benaulim village by Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj.
