Madrid: Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the Spanish capital today on the second leg of his six-day, four-nation tour aimed at boosting bilateral economic engagement with them and inviting more investment for India's transformation.
"Landed in Spain, marking the start of a very important visit aimed at improving economic and cultural relations with Spain," PM Modi tweeted in English and Spanish after landing here.
