Modi had received a traditional and colourful welcome upon his arrival at the airport. Later, he said that he looks forward to having discussions with world leaders on the global issues during his visit.
"During the Bali summit, I will have extensive discussions with other G20 leaders on key issues of global concern, such as reviving global growth, food and energy security, environment, health and digital transformation,” Modi had said ahead of his departure from Delhi.
