When Vande Mataram was sung with violin… see how PM Modi was welcomed in Austria

Vienna. After a gap of more than four decades, an Indian Prime Minister reached Austria’s capital Vienna on Tuesday on a historic visit. Soon after his arrival, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was invited to a private event by Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehmer. Nehmer posted a photo of himself and Modi on the microblogging platform and said: “Welcome to Vienna, Prime Minister @narendramodi! It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome you to Austria. Austria and India are friends and partners. Prime Minister Modi thanked the Austrian Chancellor “for the warm welcome”.

Austrian artists sang ‘Vande Mataram’ to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Vienna. In another post, PM Modi said that India-Austria friendship is strong and it will become even stronger in the coming times. This is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Austria in more than 40 years, before which Indira Gandhi had visited Austria in 1983. During Modi’s visit to Austria, the two countries will look at ways to further deepen their ties and closely cooperate on various geopolitical challenges.
