Prime Minister Narendra Modi has held key bilateral discussions with several world leaders, including with his counterparts from Armenia and New Zealand, on issues ranging from cooperation in terrorism, defence, support for India's candidature for a permanent UN Security Council seat and cyber security.
Modi met Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on the sidelines of the High Level Segment of the 74th United Nations General Assembly here on Wednesday. The Prime Minister thanked Pashinyan for Armenia's consistent support for India's candidature for the permanent membership of an expanded UN Security Council.
"Held extensive deliberations with PM Nikol Pashinyan. We talked about expanding India-Armenia cooperation in aspects relating to technology, pharmaceuticals and agro-based industries. PM Pashinyan also referred to the popularity of Indian movies, music and Yoga in Armenia," Modi tweeted.
