Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in New York on Tuesday for a 3-day visit to the United States. He received a grand welcome by the Indian diaspora in New York.

The prime minister took off from Delhi this morning, for his crucial visit to the United States. During his visit to New York, he is scheduled to meet CEOs, Nobel laureates, economists, artists, scientists, scholars, entrepreneurs, academicians and health sector experts.

The prime minister on Wednesday will attend the Yoga Day celebrations at the United Nations headquarters in New York and hold talks with US President Joe Biden before



addressing the Joint Session of the US Congress in Washington, DC.

The visit is also seen as a turning point for bilateral relations, with deeper cooperation in the defence industry and sharing high technology in sharp focus.

This will be PM Narendra Modi's first state visit to the US during his nine-year-long reign as prime minister.

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.
