Modi will also lead celebrations for the International Day of Yoga at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Wednesday, followed by a meeting with President Biden in Washington D.C.

High on the agenda will be the deepening and diversification of US-India relationship. He will then address US’s Congress the following day.

There will also be a flurry of meetings with the Indian American community and leading American CEOs to discuss strengthening trade and investment ties, and building a sustainable global supply chain.

Modi said he believes the visit will strengthen the US-India ties based on shared values and promote collaboration to respond to global challenges.
