Ahead of the official state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said that the main message U.S. is looking to convey is that this is a relationship of positive strategic consequence
The U.S., through the official state visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is looking to convey that the relationship between India and America is of "positive strategic consequence", the White House has said.
Prime Minister Modi arrives in Washington DC on a three-day state visit on June 21. The welcome ceremony and the state dinner along with an address to the Joint Session of the US Congress are scheduled for June 22.
Speaking at a panel discussion during the annual 'India Ideas Summit' of the U.S. India Business Council on Tuesday, Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said after years of strengthening ties across administrations, the U.S.-India partnership is deeper and more expensive than ever.
“The main message that we are looking to convey is that this is a relationship of positive strategic consequence,” he said.
“We think we are much more deeply aligned and significantly converging with each other on numerous global issues and innumerable ways we can benefit each of our populations.”
"What you will see when Prime Minister Modi comes and is able to spend some time with President Joe Biden in this setting, is a modern relationship between two significant countries that will benefit their own people,” Mr. Finer said.
He said in just eight days, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have the honour to receive the Prime Minister of India at the White House for an official state visit and dinner, which is the third such occasion for this administration.
