Indian Prime Minister Visiting The United States

This dude will not be eating anything during his five-day stay in the U.S. That is some radical stuff.

Indian Prime Minister Modi arrives in the United States this weekend, for a five-day visit split between New York and Washington, DC. He’ll have a full program in New York to start, with a speech at the UN General Assembly, numerous meetings with CEOs, speeches here at CFR and at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, and the headline-topping gathering of his closest 18,000 friends in the Indian American community at Madison Square Garden (to be simulcast in Times Square as well). That would be a heady program on its own.

But he’ll have an equally full program in Washington, which he will reach late Monday afternoon. President Obama will host him for a small, exclusive working dinner (over which the Indian press has begun to perseverate, since Mr. Modi will be on a lemon water and honey fast for Navratri). He will have discussions with the president, and other senior members of the administration will call on him. Vice President Biden will host a formal lunch at the State Department; he will meet with members of Congress; and he will address the U.S.-India Business Council before flying home Tuesday evening.

I know him from my past stays in India, when he was prime minister of Gujarat where I worked mostly.
A surely controversial hardliner, but no typical carreerist who made it to the top outside the usual butt licking party snail track. A former underdog.

Actually he was pretty successful in Gujarat, what I could observe about administration, economy, justice and general development.
This promises to become intereting.

Typically, visiting heads of state spend just a portion of a day at the White House meeting with Obama and other U.S. leaders. But Modi, whose election has been cheered by many Indian-Americans, was welcomed with the type of grandeur generally reserved for the closest of U.S. allies.

On the eve of Tuesday's talks, Obama hosted Modi for a private working dinner at the White House — despite the fact that Indian leader, a devout Hindu, was fasting. After spending the night at Blair House, the U.S. government guesthouse across from the White House, Modi was greeted by a military honor cordon that lined the White House driveway as his black SUV drive him up to the West Wing entrance.

And following their Oval Office meeting, Obama and Modi traveled together to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial on the National Mall, just a few blocks from the White House. Standing shoulder to shoulder along the Potomac River, they gazed up at the towering white sculpture and chatted before Modi headed to the State Department for lunch with Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry.
