NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a state visit to the US next month that will underscore the growing importance of the bilateral strategic ties.
Both sides will reflect on their vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on May 10. The MEA said Modi has been invited by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden and he will attend a state dinner on June 22.
The visit offers a “valuable opportunity” for the two countries to further deepen their comprehensive and forward-looking global strategic partnership.
It will be Modi’s first state visit to the US after Biden became President. The prime minister visited Washington in September 2021 to attend the first in-person Quad Leaders Summit. Modi had a bilateral meeting with Biden during that visit.
