It is not just their words that are in sync these days. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his guest German Chancellor Angela Merkel, seen in complementary colors today, almost wore the same shade of blue yesterday during their meeting in the Capital.

However, the similarity of their jackets yesterday was hard to ignore. The matching colours were most marked when the PM and the German Chancellor appeared side by side to address the press after a three-hour meeting.
The PM wore a white half sleeved Modi kurta, with a Nehru jacket in a soft hue. Ms Merkel teamed her sky blue blazer with a pair of black trousers.
Social media was soon abuzz with witty one liners.
The two sides signed 18 agreements and PM Modi hailed Germany as India's "natural partner." This is Ms Merkel's first visit to India after PM Modi took office.
The Prime Minister greeted the German Chancellor after the meet and had greeted her with a "namaste" as she arrived. Germany is India's most important trading partner in Europe.
