New York: Former US President Donald Trump has announced plans to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his upcoming visit to the United States. While addressing supporters in Michigan, Trump referred to Modi as a “fantastic man” and confirmed that the two leaders would meet next week, though specific details of their meeting remain undisclosed. Modi’s visit to the US is scheduled from September 21 to 23, during which he will attend significant international engagements, including the Quad Summit and the ‘Summit of the Future’ at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The Quad Summit, hosted by US President Joe Biden, will also bring together Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss key strategic issues, particularly around enhancing cooperation for a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Topics like health security, disaster response, emerging technologies, climate change, and cybersecurity will be central to the discussions. Modi is expected to engage with global leaders, CEOs, and thought leaders, focusing on sectors like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and semiconductors, furthering India-US collaboration. This marks Modi’s first meeting with Trump since the former US president’s visit to India in 2020, an event that Modi previously described as pivotal for bilateral relations.
