"Hola Espana! Prime Minister Modi arrives in Madrid, first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in almost three decades, is received by Spanish FM in a special gesture", tweeted Gopal Baglay, Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
The agreements were signed after Prime Minister Modi held wide-ranging talks with Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy at the Moncloa Palace in the Spanish capital.
Modi said he is confident that his visit to Spain - the first by an Indian prime minister since 1988 - will give a new momentum to bilateral ties.
Two-way trade totalled 4.72 billion euros (S7.33 billion) in 2016, an 8.5 per cent increase over the previous year, of which Spanish exports made up almost 1.26 billion euros. There are around 200 Spanish companies operating in India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, a major emerging economy, didn't reply directly Tuesday when asked whether it would stick with the accord if Washington leaves.
Modi's tour also leads him to France and Russian Federation - but not to former colonial power Britain. He said that in "today's global context", his discussions in Spain would focus on worldwide developments.
