Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet CEOs of top American companies including FedEx, Mastercard and Adobe during his official visit to the United States. The CEO’s reception will be held on June 23 at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, which will be attended by over 1,200 participants, the source said. The event will be attended by business leaders from US and Indian companies such as Tech Mahindra and Mastec.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the International Day of Yoga program at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Many Indians will also participate in this. Then he will reach Washington DC. Hundreds of Indian-Americans will gather at Lafayette Square Park in front of the White House to welcome Modi. Many cultural programs will take place during this. There will be a grand welcome ceremony for Prime Minister Modi in the South Lawn of the White House. During this, 7 thousand Indians will gather.

A source said Modi is unlikely to directly address the threat from China in his public remarks, but is expected to raise the issue during his private talks. The second source said that reducing India’s dependence on Russia for its defense needs and increasing its own manufacturing capabilities would be one of the top topics of discussion between the two countries. Sources told Reuters that the Biden administration is pushing New Delhi to eliminate its own red tape and push through a deal for dozens of US-made armed drones.
