The format of the press conference will include one question from the US press and one from an Indian journalist, White House spokesperson John Kirby said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden will be taking questions from the press on Thursday, the White House has confirmed, terming it a "big deal".
John Kirby, the White House's national security spokesperson, said, "We are just grateful that Prime Minister Modi is participating in a press event at the end of the visit. We think that's important and we're glad he thinks that's important too."
The format of the press conference will include one question from the US press and one from an Indian journalist, Kirby said.
Prime Minister Modi rarely takes questions from the media, except for occasional one-on-one interviews. He has not addressed a single press meet since he became Prime Minister in 2014.
