On Saturday, he will meet British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (who is wearing an eye patch after hurting his eye during a fall when jogging) and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who danced on her arrival at Delhi airport on Friday morning.

Modi will have a working lunch meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.

The prime minister will also have a pull-aside meeting with his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau.

He will also meet Comoros President Azali Assoumani, Turkiye President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Union, Brazilian President Lula and Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu.

There is no word if Modi will meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who will represent his country instead of President Xi Jinping who will miss his first G20 Summit after being anointed China's leader in 2012.
