Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India will visit President Biden at the White House on Thursday for a state visit featuring both fanfare and substance, highlighting the growing importance of the U.S.-India relationship at a time of geopolitical turmoil.
. Modi, who addressed U.S. lawmakers in 2016, is one of only a handful of world leaders who have been invited twice to address a joint session of Congress.
Thousands of Indian Americans plan to greet Modi during his visit, which will include an elaborate arrival ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on Thursday and separate engagements by Modi with members of the Indian diaspora and the U.S. business community. “As longtime supporters of a strong U.S.-India relationship, we also believe that friends can and should discuss their differences in an honest and forthright way,” the lawmakers wrote. “That is why we respectfully request that — in addition to the many areas of shared interests between India and the U.S. — you also raise directly with Prime Minister Modi areas of concern.”Daniel Markey, a senior adviser at the U.S.
