On June 20 morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for America for a historic state visit at US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden's invitation. The Prime Minister said the visit will strengthen India and US ties.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi left from Delhi on June 20 for his first state visit to the United States. Despite the fact that Modi has travelled to the United States frequently—most recently for a three-day trip in September 2021, during which he met with Biden in private—this will be the first occasion when the Prime Minister's journey will be regarded as the highest rated visit in accordance with diplomatic tradition.
