"Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan," the President's office said.

The meeting comes days after Prime Minister Modi returned from his recent visit to Japan and China. PM Modi participated in the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in China's Tianjin, from August 31 to September 1.

The SCO Summit witnessed productive discussions on SCO development strategy, reform of global governance, counter-terrorism, peace and security, economic and financial cooperation and sustainable development. During the visit, PM Modi also held meetings with President Xi Jinping, President Putin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit.

The meeting among the two leaders also comes days after the GST Council earlier this week approved the rationalisation of the tax structure, reducting GST slabs to 5% and 18%, doing away with the 12% and 28%.
