Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in the United States for a significant three-day visit, where he will engage in high-level discussions with U.S. President Joe Biden and other global leaders. His visit will kick off with a bilateral meeting aimed at further strengthening the strategic relationship between India and the United States. Key topics on the agenda include defense cooperation, economic ties, and space exploration, with a potential deal involving India’s acquisition of 31 Predator drones.
During his stay, PM Modi will also participate in the Quad summit, joining leaders from Australia, Japan, and the U.S. to address regional security, economic stability, and rising concerns over China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific. The meeting, held in Wilmington, Delaware, is expected to result in new agreements, including an expansion of maritime security initiatives across the Indian Ocean region.
In addition to geopolitical talks, Modi expressed his gratitude towards the Indian diaspora in the U.S., recognizing their contributions to the nation’s progress. He is scheduled to address the community during a special event in New York.
The Quad summit will focus on a broad spectrum of issues, from climate change and infrastructure to the challenges posed by China’s actions in the South China Sea. As a key platform for promoting peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific, the leaders are set to enhance collaborations in technology, security, and counter-terrorism, further cementing their shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
