Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who embarked on a high-level US visit on Wednesday at the invitation of President Joe Biden, is set to meet US Vice President Kamala Harris and global CEOs on the first day of his US visit today. The Prime Minister was welcomed by senior officials of the Biden administration and India's envoy to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
The second meeting on PM Modi's agenda will be with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

PM Modi will also attend the Quad summit and address the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Joe Biden will host PM Modi at the White House tomorrow - the first in-person meeting between the two leaders after Biden took over as the US President in January this year.
