President Biden is also expected to see PM Modi in Australia in May when they convene for the Quad summit along with the leaders of Australia and Japan.
US President Joe Biden plans to host Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state dinner this summer, people familiar with the matter said.
The formal state visit is a sign of the deepening US-India relationship as the administration advances policies and initiatives for a free and open Indo-Pacific to counter what it sees as a growing threat posed by China.
The White House aims for the state dinner to take place in June but the timing could slip, the people familiar said. A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment.
India is hosting the Group of 20 leaders summit in New Delhi in September, where Russia's invasion of Ukraine will be among the chief topics of discussion. It's not yet clear if Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the gathering.
