The countdown to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States has officially begun. The three-day visit is significant for strengthening the ties between India and the United States, focusing on the indo-pacific trade, defense deals, and climate change. The Prime Minister's visit will start with the celebration of International Yoga Day at the United Nations Headquarters, followed by a high-level dialogue and a state dinner with President Biden and the first lady.
A state visit is a formal visit by a nation's leader to another country that takes place on an invite basis only. The fact that India was invited speaks volumes about the relations between the two countries. The Prime Minister of India is to address a joint session of Congress, which is a historic occasion as he is only the third Indian leader to make a state visit to the United States.
The agenda for the visit focuses on strengthening the bond between India and the United States. Major defense deals are expected to be inked, including the purchase of predatory drones. Maritime exercises and military exercises will also be discussed, as well as issues on terrorism, global and regional issues, and promoting security stability and economic prosperity.
The United States President will host an official state dinner for the Prime Minister, and the First Lady will accompany him for a Skilling event. President Biden and Prime Minister Modi will also attend a tech event. It is expected that major announcements regarding trade, defense, and climate change will be made during the visit.
The Indian diaspora in the United States is already excited about the visit, and preparations have begun. A unity rally was organized in Washington earlier, and there is a welcoming march being organized in New York and Washington. Prime Minister Modi will have a small meeting with select Indian diaspora members during his visit.
During the Prime Minister's visit, he will address the Joint Congress, which is a historic opportunity. He is only the third leader in the history of the United States to have this opportunity. His address will focus on the challenges facing the world, including defense strategy, short-term economic challenges, democracy, human rights, gender equality, and discrimination.
The visit is seen as a way to strengthen the economic and cultural relationships between India and the United States. The two largest democracies in the world coming together will discuss the challenges facing the world today and how to strengthen and enhance democracy across the world. The Prime Minister's visit is expected to be productive and pave the way for continued engagement between the two countries in the future.
