Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday met with the Presidents of Brazil, Chile, and Argentina in Rio de Janeiro and discussed ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in various areas such as defence, energy, biofuels, and agriculture.

Modi, who arrived in Brazil on Sunday after concluding a two-day trip to Nigeria, held talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on the sidelines of the G20 Summit and complimented him on various efforts of Brazil during their G20 Presidency.

"We took stock of the full range of bilateral ties between our nations and reaffirmed our commitment to improving cooperation in sectors like energy, biofuels, defence, agriculture and more," Modi said in a post on X after talks with Lula.

The two leaders had a "productive meeting" during which they reviewed the complete spectrum of bilateral ties and agreed to advance cooperation in sectors such as defence, agriculture, biofuels, digital technology and more, the prime minister's office said.

While opening the bilateral meeting, President Lula told Prime Minister Modi that a lot of things that they have tried to do in their G20 have been inspired by the G20 Summit in India, the sources said.

He added that Brazil wanted to reach the level of efficiency in organizing the Summit that India had shown last year.

Brazil is hosting the 19th G20 Summit. India is part of the G20 Troika along with Brazil and South Africa.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that Prime Minister Modi thanked President Lula for successfully hosting the G20 Summit.

"PM assured India's full support to Brazil's initiative of ‘Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty’. Discussions focused on exploring opportunities for greater cooperation in renewable energy, biofuels, defence, agriculture, healthcare, and digital technology," he said in a post on X.

On Monday, Prime Minister Modi was warmly received by President Lula at the G20 Summit venue.

Alongside Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Joe Biden are among the leaders attending the Rio de Janeiro summit on November 18-19.

On Tuesday, Modi also met with Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font on the margins of the G20 Summit.

"India's ties with Chile are getting stronger across various sectors. Our talks focused on how to deepen relations in pharmaceuticals, technology, space, and more. It is gladdening to see Ayurveda gaining popularity in Chile. This is also a sector where ties can gain momentum," Modi posted on X.

On his part, President Boric said that they discussed the negotiations of the Trade Agreement between both countries (CEPA) and the new opportunities for public-private investment and trade promotion.

"We also discussed how to increase academic exchange, as well as increasing collaboration on cultural matters. India is one of the largest economies in the world, with great demographic and future potential, with whom we are working to strengthen ties, which we will deepen during our next official visit to that country next year," he said in a post on X.

Both sides reviewed India-Chile relations and discussed ways to expand cooperation in areas of pharmaceuticals, healthcare, technology, IT, railways, mining, space, renewable energy and defence, the MEA spokesperson said.
