‘Thank you America’, says PM Narendra Modi after ‘hugely successful’ visit
Washington: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on his way back home after what he himself described as a “hugely successful journey” visit to the US.
From the rock star at Madison Square Garden to President Barack Obama giving him a warm reception at the White House, Prime Minister Modi’s visit was accorded special significance. And to his credit, Modi won over his hosts in style.
“Thank You America,” Modi said as he concluded his last official engagement at an event organised by the US-India Business Council (USIBC) on Tuesday.
In a rare gesture, President Obama joined Modi to pay homage at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial. Both the leaders took a round of the memorial and Obama was seen explaining significance of the site to Modi.
The visit was significant given the success achieved by both sides in bringing the strategic partnership between India and the US back on track.
