Earlier in June, PM Narendra Modi travelled to the US for a four-day State visit. During his US visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended various events and met top Indian and American CEOs. He received a ceremonial welcome and guard of honour at the White House upon his arrival.
US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted PM Modi for a state dinner at the White House. He was also hosted for a State Luncheon by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Vice President Kamala Harris.
During his visit, PM Modi interacted with the Indian diaspora at the Ronald Reagan Building and compared the meeting with a "sweet dish" at his farewell address. He also addressed the US-India Strategic partnership forum (USISPF) in Washington DC. He said that American companies in the last two years have invested around USD 16 billion in India.
Notably, the relations between India and the US have developed into a "global strategic partnership", based on shared democratic values and increasing convergence of interests on bilateral, regional and global issues. Regular exchange of high-level political visits has provided momentum to bilateral cooperation between India and US.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the bilateral cooperation between India and the US is broad-based and multi-sectoral, covering trade and investment, defence and security, education, science and technology, cyber security, high-technology, civil nuclear energy, space technology and applications, clean energy, environment, agriculture and health.
