Indian PM to visit Washington next September

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accepted an invitation from US President Barack Obama to have bilateral discussions in Washington in September, potentially opening a new chapter in a sometimes edgy relationship between the two countries.
Government sources in Delhi said that the United States has offered September 30 as the date for the meeting, and the Indian side has asked for it to be advanced to September 26, around the time of Modi’s maiden address at the United Nations General Assembly.
Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India last month after his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the nine rounds of voting that began on April 7 and gained 282 seats.
