News2News.in Explainer: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on an official state visit to the US on 22 June. This is the first time during PM Modi’s nine-year reign so far, when PM Modi is going on a state visit to America. The preparations for his visit have started in full swing. Not only will US President Joe Biden welcome PM Modi in America, but the country’s first lady Jill Biden will also be present. White House Press Secretary K. Jean Pierre noted that the upcoming visit will further enhance the deep and close partnership between the United States and India. It will also strengthen the warm ties that bind Americans and Indians. So let’s tell what is a state visit, for which even PM Modi had to wait nine years.
What and why is the State visit to America important?
Whenever the head of state of a country is invited to a country for a specific state purpose, it is called a formal state visit. This trip is for a short period of time. This includes addressing a joint session of the US Congress and attending a state dinner at the White House, among other addresses and events. Bilateral agreements are also important in such a state visit. If the President of America invites the Indian President on a state visit, it clearly means that America has expectations from India on many fronts.
PM Modi has traveled six times, but this trip is special
This will be PM Modi’s first official US visit. Prior to this, PM Modi has visited America six times, but most of the times he goes to New York to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations or to participate in other multinational forums. According to the statement, during the visit the two leaders will have the opportunity to review bilateral issues of common interest including trade, technology, education, industry, clean energy, defence, security, healthcare, research, people-to-people contacts. It states that Modi and Biden will seek ways to strengthen the India-US alliance and increase cooperation in multilateral fora including the G-20.
There will be a grand reception at the White House
