Prime Minister Narendra Modi's State Visit to the US will have "significant outcomes", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on June 17.
Interacting with reporters on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi, he also said that it will be the first time that an Indian Prime Minister will be addressing the U.S. Congress twice.
Prime Minister Modi is visiting the U.S. from June 21-24 at the invitation of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. They will host Modi at a State Dinner on June 22. The visit also includes an address to the Joint Session of the Congress on June 22.
"The prime minister is going on a State Visit, which signifies the highest level of honour. So, the honour that he will receive, has been accorded to a very few people, so far," Jaishankar said after the function that was held at Badarpur in South Delhi as part of the BJP's mega outreach campaign -- 'Sampark se Samarthan' -- to mark the completion of the nine years of the Modi government.
“The Prime Minister will address a Joint Session of the U.S. Congress. No Indian prime minister has addressed it twice. So, it will be the first time. World over also, very few people have done that... Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela. So, there are very few people who have addressed the US Congress twice,” Mr. Jaishankar said.
It assumes "huge importance" and outcomes will be seen later, the External Affairs Minister said.
Asked about the implications of the State Visit on India-U.S. relations, he said this State Visit will have “significant outcomes” and added that “what outcomes these will be, I cannot tell that right now”.
