Earlier, the two leaders could not hold a planned meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in June due to scheduling issues.

Earlier today, Modi also met his New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern and extended support to each other to fight terrorism.

The two leaders reviewed the bilateral relations between India-New Zealand and discussed steps to intensify political, economic, defence, security and people to people relations, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement.
