Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold his first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on June 27. Modi will also address a couple of business meetings organized by the U.S.-India Business Council and CEOs’ Forum.
The agenda for the meeting with the President will focus on trade and economic ties between the two countries; H1B visas; and defense ties. In April, U.S. National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster visited India and met Modi. He emphasized the importance of the U.S.-India strategic relationship and reaffirmed India’s designation as a ‘Major Defense Partner‘.
It is likely that India will sign two defense pacts — the Communications Inter-operability and Security Memorandum of Agreement, and the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement, reports BusinessLine.
