The Indian Tricolour was seen waving outside the White House in Washington D.C. on Friday, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States.
Talking about the Indian flag waving outside the White House, an Indian national residing in New Jersey, Jesal Nar, said, “It’s really honour and pride to see the tricolour. I go across the United States for my work purpose carrying a tricolour.”
“But seeing the tricolour in front of the White House waving freely and benching marks the coming of our honourable prime minister Narendra Modi in Washington DC for the new generation, engines and everything. So it would be a great honour to see more technological advancement in India,” he said.
PM Modi is set to make his first state visit to the United States next week. From June 20 to 24, Prime Minister Modi will address the Joint Session of the United States Congress and meet with a number of American politicians, prominent citizens, and diaspora figures.
Meanwhile, on the White House’s South Lawn, preparations for PM Modi’s ceremonial welcome are underway.
Prime Minister Modi is in the United States at the invitation of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. The Prime Minister will begin his visit in New York, where he will lead the celebrations of the International Day of Yoga at the United Nations Headquarters on June 21.
