Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States in June to meet with President Joe Biden, said U.S. Ambassador Eric Garcetti said in Mumbai on Wednesday (May 17).
“This will be India’s first official state visit to the United States in 14 years and just the third official state visit hosted by the Biden Administration. Today, we stand at an important moment in history,” he said.
Although Mr. Modi has visited the U.S. five times in the past after he became the Prime Minister for the first time in 2014, this will be his first state visit to the country. Before Mr. Modi, the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited the U.S. on a state visit in November 2009. Mr. Singh was the second Indian leader to be on a state visit after the then President Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who visited the country on a state visit in June 1963.
