Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the visit is an opportunity to enrich the inherent diversity of India-US relations, with increasingly deep engagement across sectors.

On the first day of his visit to New York, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will preside over the International Yoga Day celebrations at the United Nations headquarters. On June 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be accorded a grand reception at the White House in Washington, DC, and will hold high-level talks with President Joe Biden. According to his schedule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a joint session of the US Congress and meet with leaders of several leading corporations to discuss opportunities to enhance trade and investment relations, as well as build a sustainable global supply chain.

Just ahead of the visit, the US announced that it would remove trade barriers with India in key sectors such as defense and high-tech. The decision covers aspects such as research and development, 5G and 6G telecommunications technology, semiconductor supply chains, artificial intelligence, advanced computing, biotechnology, and especially removing barriers to strategic trade.

India and the US have also signed a Roadmap for Defence Industrial Cooperation over the next few years, a move that is expected to boost the Asian power's defence manufacturing ambitions.

India, the world's largest arms importer, relies on Russia for nearly 50% of its military hardware supplies, but is increasingly diversifying its purchases from the US, France and Israel...

New Delhi also wants global defence manufacturers to partner with Indian companies and manufacture weapons and military equipment in India for domestic consumption as well as exports.
