Indian flag waves outside White House ahead of Narendra Modi's US visit
The Indian flag is currently waving outside the White House in the US ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the country.
Talking about the Indian flag waving outside the White House, an Indian national residing in New Jersey, Jesal Nar, told ANI, “It’s really honour and pride to see the tricolour. I go across the United States for my work purpose carrying a tricolour.”
“But seeing the tricolour in front of the White House waving freely and benching marks the coming of our honourable prime minister Narendra Modi in Washington DC for the new generation, engines and everything. So it would be a great honour to see more technological advancement in India,” he said.
Indian PM Narendra Modi will visit USA and Egypt from 20 to 25 June 2023.
At the invitation of Joseph Biden, President of USA and First Lady Jill Biden, Prime Minister will pay an Official State Visit to USA.
The visit will commence in New York, where Prime Minister will lead the celebrations of the International Day of Yoga at the United Nations Headquarters on June 21.
In December 2014, the UN General Assembly had adopted a resolution proclaiming June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.
The Prime Minister will thereafter travel to Washington D.C., where he will receive a ceremonial welcome at the White House on June 22, and meet President Biden to continue their high-level dialogue.
President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host a State Dinner in honour of the Prime Minister the same evening.
At the invitation of Congressional Leaders, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, the Prime Minister will address a Joint Sitting of the U.S. Congress on June 22.
On June 23, the Prime Minister will be jointly hosted at a luncheon by Kamala Harris, Vice President and Antony Bilnken, Secretary of State.
In addition to the official engagements, the Prime Minister is scheduled to have several curated interactions with leading CEOs, professionals, and other stakeholders. He will also meet members of the Indian Diaspora.
