Modi ready to create history with second US Congress address
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will become the third leader of India to make a state visit to the US. PM Modi will go on his first state visit to the US from June 21 to June 24 at the invitation of President Joe Biden and Jill Biden. The US President and the First Lady will host PM Modi during his four-day visit.

Indian Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Monday said that PM Modi will become the only Indian Prime Minister to address the joint session of the US Congress twice. The Prime Minister had earlier addressed the US Congress in 2016.
