Prime Minister Narendra Modi left India today for his three-day US visit. PM Modi is expected to land at the Andrews Air Force Base in Washington at 1.30 am Indian Standard Time on June 21, where he will be welcomed by a group of Indian American.
PM Modi, who has a tight schedule during his visit to the US, will meet top Indian American CEOs. After that he will lead the celebration marking the International Yoga Day at the UN headquarters on Wednesday.
This is PM Modi’s first state visit to the US. According to reports, PM Modi will leave for Washington DC soon after concluding the Yoga event, where the US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host a private dinner.
As President Joe Biden himself said “everyone in the whole country” wants to meet the Indian premier. It should come as no surprise then that Modi has a packed schedule as he visits Washington and New York.
Before boarding the Air India One for his landmark trip to the US, Prime Minister Narendra Modi answered questions on several subjects of national and geopolitical significance in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
