Congress Invites Modi To Address Joint Meeting

WASHINGTON, DC (ANI) – The US Congress has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate during his visit to the country on June 22.

“During your address, you will have the opportunity to share your vision for India’s future and speak to the global challenges our countries both face,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a letter to Modi.

The letter further read that Modi’s “historic address to a Joint Meeting of Congress seven years ago left a lasting impact and greatly deepened the friendship,” between the two nations.

Meanwhile, the White House said the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the US will be an opportunity to reaffirm the deep, close partnership between US and India.

PM Modi’s visit “will be an opportunity to reaffirm the deep and close partnership between the United States and India and the warm bonds of the family and friendship that link America, Americans, and clearly, Indians together. And so that’s very important to the (US) President,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre on PM Modi’s state visit to the US.

Modi is the only third leader in history to be invited to address a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate. Others are former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill and former President of Africa Nelson Mandela.
