On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the United States for a three-day visit. His main purpose for this trip is to attend the Quad summit and address a significant conference at the United Nations. This is a crucial opportunity for him to engage with other world leaders and strengthen relationships with the US and other countries.
During his visit, Modi will also hold separate meetings with US President Joe Biden and other leaders on the sidelines of the Quad summit in Wilmington, Delaware, and the 'Summit of the Future' at the UN General Assembly in New York. To kick off his trip, Modi landed in Philadelphia before heading to Wilmington.
The annual Quad summit, which will take place in President Biden's hometown, is expected to introduce new initiatives that will enhance cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, it will provide a platform to discuss peaceful resolutions to conflicts in countries such as Ukraine and Gaza. Modi is also scheduled to participate in an event for the Indian diaspora in Long Island and engage in a round table discussion with CEOs of American companies working on advanced technologies like AI, quantum computing, and semiconductors.
In his statement before departing from New Delhi, Modi expressed his excitement to join President Biden, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for the Quad Summit. He emphasized the forum's importance as a group of like-minded countries working towards peace, progress, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Quad, also known as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, stands for a free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific. However, it is perceived by Beijing as an anti-China alliance. After the Quad summit, Modi will travel to New York where he will participate in an event for the Indian community on September 22 and address the Summit of the Future at the UN General Assembly on September 23. This visit is an excellent opportunity for Modi to engage with the Indian diaspora and showcase India's contributions to global peace and development.
