UPDATE: PM Modi to visit Washington later this year, says White House

March 28, 2017 23:43

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be travelling to the United States and meeting Donald Trump later this year, the White House has announced.

Trump made the invite when he called Modi to congratulate him on the BJP's recent wins in assembly elections.

Ever since Modi became PM back in 2014, he has visited the US four times and met Obama on countless occasions and nurtured a friendship with the former US president.

Modi has also had phone conversations ever since Trump became the US president -- once to congratulate him after his victory and another just yesterday when the US president wished Modi for his victory in the recently-concluded assembly polls
