The India Prime Minister is set to visit the US this weekend in an international summit with 4 countries. The countries meeting are India, Japan, Australia, and the US. They will be discussing Indo-Pacific issues around keeping strong ties and alliances in that key area of trade and defense. They are mainly concerned with international securities. The India Prime Minister will also be addressing India descendants in New York at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. The main reason for the event is to strengthen the connection of India to its emigrants. He will also meet with American business leaders in his hotel to strengthen economic ties and attract investment to India.
The Prime Minister will be meeting with President Biden in his home state of Delaware as a farewell to his administration. This visit amidst the tensions in the world is very important. The QUAD Summit is most likely in response to the rising tensions in the South China Sea so that the US and her allies can see where India stands in relation to their interests. This meeting will help to allow collaboration between members against the growing aggression of China. Prime Minister Modi is mainly attempting to promote stability in the region. Finally on his third day he will be addressing a united Nations Summit for the Future. The rest of his visit is dedicated to conversations with a multitude of state officials.
This connects to our class in the sense that Prime Minister Modi is acting as the Head of state for India and is interacting with other countries through their officials. He will also be addressing a large NGO in the United Nations. It also supports the ideas of countries importance in the world stage as India is pushing to become a larger global power not just a regional one.
