Princess Astrid, who is leading a 300-member economic delegation for a visit to the country between March 1-8, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday

The visit assumes importance because it comes amid massive shifts in global trade due to the policies adopted by US President Donald Trump

After the meeting, Modi said that there is a need to 'unlock limitless opportunities' that exist between the two countries

The delegation spent the afternoon at the Veermata Jijabai Udyan zoo, where Princess Astrid spent some time around the country's only Humboldt penguin enclosure

There was also a seminar on life sciences which was organised at a facility in the same premises, which was attended by the Belgian royal and her visiting delegation

In the evening, Princess Astrid and Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended a signing ceremony where 11 Belgian and Indian companies or educational institutes have tied up for mutual good
