PM Modi’s address to the Indian diaspora in Washington DC is likely to a relatively modest gathering owing to his tight schedule. Community leaders, however, are dejected as they wanted to throw a gala event in the prime minister’s honour.
PM Modi arrived here from New York where he led a historic event at the UN Headquarters earlier in the day to commemorate the 9th International Day of Yoga, attended by UN officials, diplomats and prominent personalities.
PM Modi is visiting the US from June 21-24 at the invitation of President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, who will host him at a state dinner on June 22.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Tesla CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk today as he began his landmark three-day state visit to the US. Musk, who is yet to bring his electric car-maker Tesla to India, said the country is great for solar energy investment.
According to reports, PM Modi will leave for Washington DC soon after concluding the Yoga event, where US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host a private dinner.
