Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hosted German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the recently restored Sunder Nursery in New Delhi.

"Had the honour of taking the President of Germany, Mr Frank-Walter Steinmeier to Delhi's Sunder Nursery. We had wonderful discussions on a wide range of issues," the Prime Minister posted on Twitter along with pictures of him and his guest taking a stroll in the park.

The Sunder Nursery, a heritage park near Humayun Tomb in Delhi, has of late been revamped by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in collaboration with the Central Public Works Department, Archaeological Survey of India and the South Delhi Municipal Corporation.

Steinmeier is currently on a tour to India. He was ceremonially welcomed by President Ram Nath Kovind at the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan earlier on Saturday.

"EAM @SushmaSwaraj called on President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Engaging discussion on broadening and deepening our strategic partnership. The two sides attach priority to the relationship, bilaterally and also in the global context," Raveesh Kumar, official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, said.
