The Indian diaspora in Delaware was abuzz with excitement as they welcomed Prime Minister Modi. Shouts of “Modi, Modi” filled the air as community members prepared for the PM’s arrival outside the hotel.
A member of the Indian diaspora expressed joy over Prime Minister Modi’s arrival in the US and said, “I don’t think there is another politician like him who has sacrificed his life and made sure that India is respected and loved. He has brought it to the forefront of the world.”
“I am blessed to welcome him to Delaware,” she said.
Meanwhile, another member of the diaspora said: “I shook hands with Prime Minister Modi. I am very happy.”
“He has brought back the golden age of India. Modi Ji is great… This is a historic moment to cherish,” said another member of the Indian diaspora as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the Hotel duPont and met members of the Indian community who had gathered there to welcome him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Philadelphia International Airport on Saturday morning (local time), on the first day of his three-day visit to the United States.
“Landed in Philadelphia. Today’s programme will focus on the Quad Summit and bilateral meeting with @POTUS @JoeBiden. I am sure the discussions throughout the day will contribute to making our planet a better place and addressing key global challenges,” PM Modi said in a message on X.
President Biden welcomed the leaders to Delaware, saying, “Today, I welcome Prime Ministers Albanese, Modi, and Kishida to my home: Delaware. These leaders are not only essential to ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific — they are friends of mine and friends of our country. I look forward to all we will accomplish in the upcoming summit.
During the Quad Summit, Prime Minister Modi will join US President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss regional security and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. The last Quad Leaders’ Summit, the fifth edition, was held in Hiroshima, Japan, on May 20 last year.
From Delaware, the PM will travel to New York, where he will address a diaspora event and meet CEOs in a roundtable on September 22. On September 23, PM Modi will address the Summit of the Future at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
