The US lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, will greet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Silicon Valley reception.

The Barack Obama administration has said the U.S. relationship with India "will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century." 

In recognition of this shift in US-India relations since the change in Indian leadership 17 months ago, the Congressmen are lining up to greet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Community Reception to be held at SAP Center in San Jose on September 27.

Several members of Congress are confirmed to be in attendance for the Prime Minister's address to a diverse crowd of 18,500 people. 

Included in this group are Ami Bera (D-California) and George Holding (R-North Carolina), the co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Indians and Indian Americans, a bipartisan group formed in 1993 that is an influential voice in championing strong ties between the US and India, as well as the growing Indian-American community in the US.
