US President Barack Obama made a strong appeal for religious freedom at a town hall-style meeting in Delhi on Tuesday, weighing in on one of India's most controversial topics as he wound up a three-day visit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit next week at the invitation of President Barack Obama is about "consolidation" and "celebration" of bilateral ties, India's envoy to the US has said in Washington.
A US Congressional commission will hold a hearing to examine the current state of human rights in India, coinciding with the White House meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a two-day visit to the United States from June 7 during which he will address a Joint Meeting of the US Congress and hold talks with President Barack Obama to review the progress made in key areas of defence, security and energy.
Observing that India has made significant progress in implementing the civil nuclear deal in the last 18 months, the Obama administration told lawmakers that it is now up to individual companies to take decisions in terms of opportunities and risks.
US President Barack Obama was "disappointed" at not being able to visit the iconic Taj Mahal during his trip to India last year, the White House has said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be visiting the US in early June for a bilateral meeting with President Barack Obama who is said to be inviting some world leaders before he demits office in January next.
