US looking forward to welcome Modi to Washington

June 06, 2014 09:00

The United States is looking forward to welcoming the new Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Washington, but refrained from making any announcement on the possible trip in September.

"We look forward to welcoming the prime minister to Washington, nothing to announce on timing at this point," the State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Marie Harf, told reporters at her daily press conference.

"I don't have any more details. We said we look forward to welcoming him," Harf reiterated when pressed further.

Earlier last month US Secretary of State John Kerry had welcomed Modi to US during his meeting with the Indian Ambassador to the United States S Jaishankar.
