PM Narendra Modi returns home after three-nation tour

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned home tonight after wrapping up his final-leg of five-day three-nation tour of Belgium, the US and Saudi Arabia.

The Prime Minister had arrived in Riyadh yesterday from Washington and today he held wide-ranging talks with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud during which they agreed to strengthen cooperation in combating terrorism.

"Thank you Saudi Arabia. Joined several programmes during my visit, which will deepen economic & people-to-people ties between our nations," Modi tweeted both in Arabic and English before departing for New Delhi.

The Prime Minister's first stop was Brussels where he attended the long-delayed India-EU summit and held talks with Belgium counterpart Charles Michel on March 30.

From Brussels Modi went to Washington where he attended the Nuclear Security Summit on March 31 and April 1.
