Former US President Barack Obama met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here today. This is the first meeting between the two leaders after Obama had left the White House in January.

“It was a pleasure to meet, once again, former president @BarackObama, and learn about the new initiatives being taken forward under his leadership at the @ObamaFoundation and his perspectives on further strengthening India-US strategic partnership,” Modi tweeted.

Obama was the first US president to visit India twice during his time in office. He had earlier visited in 2010 when Manmohan Singh was the prime minister.
