NEW YORK: The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) expresses great enthusiasm in welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States for an extraordinary state visit.

The visit marks a historic moment as it is the first time PM Modi has received such an honour, and it is the third state visit extended by Washington to an Indian leader.

Welcoming PM Modi to the United States, John Chambers, USISPF chairman, chairman emeritus of Cisco, Founder and CEO of JC2 Ventures, said: “It is an honour to have Prime Minister Modi back in the United States. He has been a role model for many of us around the world with Digital India and how he brings those benefits to every citizen across the country.”

“Prime Minister Modi is able to build relationships with various stakeholders in the United States and focuses on the win-win aspect. Prime Minister Modi has the ability to inspire hope and translate hope into vision and vision into results and those benefits are well evinced. I look forward to hearing Prime Minister Modi address a joint session of Congress,” Chambers said.

USISPF president and CEO, Mukesh Aghi said, “We are delighted and honoured that the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is set to visit the United States. This historic and important state visit sends a strong message that the US-India relationship is critical, pivotal and the most defining partnership of the 21st century.”

“Prime Minister Modi’s state visit will reaffirm the strength of the strategic partnership and cement our relations in defence, energy, healthcare, technology, and education,” Aghi said.
“This relationship is best epitomised by the concept that these are two democracies, sharing a common vision,” he added.

The Prime Minister’s Modi invitation to address a joint session of Congress, makes him one of the few world leaders to have been offered the chance to address a joint session of Congress on two different occasions, USISPF said.

USISPF is committed to creating the most powerful partnership between the United States and India. As the only independent not-for-profit institution dedicated to strengthening the US-India partnership in Washington, DC, and New Delhi, USISPF is the trusted partner for businesses, non-profit organisations, the diaspora, and the governments of India and the United States.
