PM Modi will be hosted by Biden for a state dinner and a private family dinner, attend lunch with Vice-President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and address a joint session of Congress for the second time.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in New York on Tuesday on the first leg of his maiden state visit to the US during which he will lead the International Yoga Day event at the United Nations Headquarters and hold bilateral talks with President Joe Biden. He was welcomed by a group of Indian community members in America, with national flag in their hands, outside the airport.
Visuals showed the Prime Minister shaking hands with a few of the members as they chanted 'Modi, Modi' slogans.
Some of the community members were also seen waiting outside his hotel to greet him.
Smita Mickey Patel, one of the members of the Indian community told ANI, "I think his visit will make a great impact on the US as he is doing a really great job globally as well. He is helping out the whole world with his pure heart and is making India proud."
