The Greek Minister congratulated Modi on the success of the Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-3.
He described it as a success for humanity.
"The discussions covered various dimensions of the bilateral partnership, including trade and investment, defense and security, technology, infrastructure, digital payments, shipping, pharma, agriculture, migration and mobility, tourism, skill development, culture, education and people to people ties.
