PM Modi's State Visit is a powerful signal that future of US-India is together: USIBC President

Washington, Jun 9 (PTI) The State Visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the invitation of President Joe Biden is a "big deal" and a powerful signal that the future of the two countries is together, US-India Business Council (USIBC) president Atul Keshap has said.

Prime Minister Modi is visiting the US from June 21-24 at the invitation of US President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. This will be his first State Visit to Washington.

“The old saying goes, trade follows the flag. The two flags indicate the relevance of one to the other. A State Visit is a big deal. It is only the third in the entire history of diplomatic relations between the United States and India. It is the highest level of protocol area and diplomatic gesture that the United States can offer,” Keshap told PTI in an interview.
