Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Mauritius President Paramasivum Pillay Vyapoory on the sidelines of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday.
"It is a great pride to see Prime Minister @narendramodi alongside the President of the Republic of Mauritius! ," Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth said in a tweet posting a picture of the two leaders meeting.
Both Modi and Vyapoory delivered their speeches at the UNGA earlier in the day.
Modi also met his counterparts from Greece, Bhutan and Bangladesh -- Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Lotay Tshering and Sheikh Hasina -- after his UNGA address.
Modi, in his address at the UNGA, spoke for around 17 minutes, where he touched upon a number of issues including climate change, development and terrorism. It was the Prime Minister's second address at the global body and his first after assuming power for a second term.
Modi is scheduled to depart from New York to India later in the day after wrapping up his engagements, capping off his hectic week-long visit in the US.
