Mr Modi, who is visiting the United States for the sixth time as Prime Minister, will be hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden for his first official state visit, during which he will meet with U.S. leadership, members of Congress, American CEOs, and members of the Indian-American community.

Mr. Modi has stated that he is certain that his visit to the United States would strengthen our bonds based on common values such as democracy, diversity, and freedom. Both countries are stronger when they work together to address global concerns. 

Mr Modi’s visit to New York will begin with talks with around 24 CEOs and thought leaders, including Tesla founder and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, Astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson, and singer Falguni Shah, among others.

Mr. Modi stated that he will attend a Yoga event in the coming days at the venue where India’s petition to recognise an International Day of Yoga was accepted in December 2014. 

PM Modi will even lay flowers at a Mahatma Gandhi bust that was built at the United Nations last year. Officials said talks were underway on the location of a future memorial wall for slain United Nations peacekeepers, but it was unclear whether that was on Mr. Modi’s agenda at the U.N. Last week, India filed a resolution to construct the memorial wall, which was co-sponsored by 190 countries, including China and Pakistan, and was approved by the United Nations General Assembly.

Mr Modi defended the government in an interview against claims of religious division and human rights breaches.

According to Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra, PM Modi’s visit to the United States represents a “milestone” in bilateral relations, and it has been recognised by a number of pieces highlighting India in worldwide media. The cover of the newest edition of the Economist, headlined “America’s New Best Friend” and including an interview with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, depicts Joseph Biden as American Tiger Zoo owner Joe “Exotic” with a tiger next to him, suggesting India. 

Dr Jaishankar believes that what people will see next week is a public and visible expression of the state of India-US relations, which he believes is “very good, getting better by the day, and becoming more consequential by the day,” adding that the “unmistakable message” of Mr Modi’s visit will be that the India-US relationship is “on the right track and moving forward very, very rapidly.”

Conclusion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi departs on his first formal State visit to the United States from Delhi. He will attend Yoga Day festivities at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, meet with US President Joe Biden, and deliver remarks to the Joint Session of the US Congress in Washington, DC. He will also meet with business executives, connect with the Indian community, and meet with thinking leaders from many fields.
