Prime Minister Modi will visit US on 21st
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States this month, his first after assuming office for a third straight term.
The trip to the US comes days after Modi visited Ukraine and Russia in the last two months.
The prime minister will attend the Quad Summit on September 21 in Wilmington, the home town of outgoing US president Joe Biden in Delaware.
It is the last gathering of all the current leaders of the Quad alliance together, as both Biden and Japan’s Fumio Kishida are stepping down from the office.
Biden recently announced that he will not run again for a second stint at White House.
Kishida also made his plans clear of not seeking re-election as the head of Liberal Democratic Party.
Modi, now in his 11th year as prime minister, has been a senior leader among the four. The development assumes significance as India will be hosting the Summit in 2025.
The Delaware summit will mark 20 years of the formation of Quad alliance. Biden owns a home in Wilmington and used to travel to Washington on an Amtrak during his days as senator.
