Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States from February 12 to 13 and hold talks with President Donald Trump, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said on Friday.

PM Modi will visit the US on February 12-13 for an official meeting with President Trump, marking his first trip after Trump’s second-term inauguration.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the US next week and meet President Donald Trump, the White House says. Other reports say Modi will attend a dinner hosted by the US president on the two-day trip.

India will continue to bring down tariffs and phase out additional levies on imports as domestic manufacturing improves, a top finance ministry official said, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US.

The announcement comes days after a US military plane deported Indians who had illegally immigrated to the US.

It took Daler Singh six months and $45,000 to reach the United States last month without paperwork. Within three weeks of his arrival, he was sent back to his native India on a military plane, his hands and legs cuffed throughout the journey.

PM Modi's visit follows an invitation from President Trump, who returned to the White House for his second term just weeks ago.
