After Houston, Modi to meet Trump in New York

September 24, 2019 08:58

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a bilateral meeting with United States President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday afternoon (local time).

"PM Modi will meet President Trump at 12:15 p.m. (local time) tomorrow," external affairs ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said during a press briefing in New York.

The meeting comes a day after the US President had shared the dais with Modi to address nearly 50,000 Indian-Americans and Hindu-Americans 'Howdy, Mody!' event in Houston.

Taking the US-India relations to new heights, the leaders of the world's two biggest democracies echoed similar sentiments on pressing issues such as climate change, terrorism, energy and trade.

Notably, the friendship between Modi and Trump was on full display at the event.

In a never-seen-before display of camaraderie, the two leaders held hands and took a lap around the NRG Stadium after the two leaders addressed the 'Howdy, Modi!' event.

Prime Minister also took the occasion to vouch for Trump ahead of 2020 presidential elections, saying "ab ki baar Trump sarkar" - modifying the 'Ab ki Baar Modi sarkar' slogan coined for the BJP's 2014 Lok Sabha election campaign. -- ANI
