NEW DELHI,JUNE 20 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for his crucial visit to the United States this morning from Delhi. The visit is seen as a turning point for bilateral relations, with deeper cooperation in defence industry and sharing high technology in sharp focus.

This will be the PM Narendra Modi’s first state visit to the US during his nine-year-long reign as prime minister. He will attend Yoga Day celebrations at the UN HQ in New York and hold talks with US President Joe Biden and address the Joint Session of the US Congress in Washington, DC.

Minutes before leaving for the US, Prime Minister Modi tweeted about his departure and gave an insight about the programmes he will be attending in the US.

He tweeted, “Leaving for USA, where I will attend programmes in New York City and Washington DC. These programmes include Yoga Day celebrations at the UN HQ, talks with US President JoeBiden, address to the Joint Session of the US Congress and more.”

Stepping up defence cooperation, India and the US are poised to unveil a roadmap for industries in the sector to partner closely in co-production, co-development and maintaining supply change during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US.

PM Modi’s visit to the United States is expected to give India access to critical American technologies Washington rarely shares with non-allies, strengthening a new bond that is underpinned by not just global politics but also business and economics.

Prime Minister Modi, during his first state visit to the US, will also hold discussions with President Joe Biden on bettering trade and investment relations, besides forging closer ties in the technology domain comprising telecom, space and manufacturing.

He will also meet business leaders, interact with the Indian community and meet thought leaders from different walks of life.
