New Delhi, July 6 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a special honour in Argentina on Saturday - the "Key to the City of Buenos Aires".

Jorge Macri, the city's chief official, gave him this symbolic gift during his two-day visit. The key represents friendship and trust. Earlier, Modi met President Javier Milei for important talks.

This visit was historic because it was the first time in 57 years that an Indian Prime Minister came to Argentina just for bilateral talks (not for a big conference). Hundreds of Indian immigrants cheered PM Modi outside his hotel, waving flags and dancing to Indian music.
