Your visit to strengthen the friendship between our nations: PM Modi tweets ahead of Trump’s India visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday welcomed US President Donald Trump ahead of his two-day visit to India as the two countries look forward to strengthening the bilateral partnership and ramp up cooperation in several areas.

“India awaits your arrival @POTUS @realDonaldTrump! Your visit is definitely going to further strengthen the friendship between our nations. See you very soon in Ahmedabad,” PM Modi tweeted.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Modi had said he was “extremely delighted” that the US president will visit India.

Memorable welcome

“India will accord a memorable welcome to our esteemed guests. This visit is a very special one and it will go a long way in further cementing India-USA friendship,” Modi had tweeted on February 12.

Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will drive along the 22-km route between the airport and Motera Stadium, the venue for the “Namaste Trump” event, and pass 28 stages representing the states of the country as part of what is being billed as the “India Road Show”.

The route is expected to have tens of thousands of people and artists showcasing arts from different states and Union territories. The route will also feature decorations depicting events in the life of Mahatma Gandhi, whose life was closely associated with Ahmedabad.

Trump and Modi will jointly address the “Namaste Trump” event, which is expected to begin at 12.30pm at Motera Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium.

It will be similar to the “Howdy Modi!” event that was attended by both leaders in Houston, Texas in September last year.

Donald Trump will then travel to Agra see the Taj Mahal before reaching Delhi.
