Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed confidence that his maiden trip to the United States will mark the start of a new chapter in the strategic partnership between the two countries.
In a pre-departure statement, Modi termed the United States as a vital partner for India’s national development, drawing especially on the rich possibilities of partnership in education, skills, research, technology and innovation and, above all, a shared commitment to human values.
“Working together, and with others, we can bridge the many divisions of our times and contribute to building a more peaceful, stable, secure, sustainable and prosperous world. I will discuss with President Obama how we can use the strength of all that we share and all that we have built so far to take our relationship to a new level in the interest of our two countries and the cause of this world,” the Prime Minister said.
During his visit from September 26-30, Modi will be travelling to New York where he will address the United Nations General Assembly and Washington D.C. where he will have a bilateral summit with US President Barack Obama.
In his United Nations General Assembly address, Modi plans to call for a stronger global commitment and more concerted multilateral action in meeting challenges like a still fragile global economy, turbulence and tension in many parts of the world.
