Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former British prime minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday and called him a "great friend of India".

Posting pics of the meet on X, PM said: "It was a delight to meet former UK PM, Mr. Rishi Sunak and his family! We had a wonderful conversation on many subjects. Mr. Sunak is a great friend of India and is passionate about even stronger India-UK ties."

Sunak was accompanied by his mother-in-law Sudha Murty, an author and Rajya Sabha MP, and other family members.

Earlier in the day, Sunak and his family had visited Parliament House in New Delhi where they were welcomed by Lok Sabha Secretary General Utpal Kumar Singh.

On Saturday, the family had visited the Taj Mahal in Agra. The family toured one of the wonders of the world and the former UK Prime Minister also signed the visitor book along.

“A truly breathtaking visit. Few places in the world can unite like the Taj Mahal. Our children will never forget seeing this… We are so grateful to the warm hospitality. An unforgettable experience for our whole family. Thank you,” Sunak said.
