Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the U.S. in September 2024 for a key UNGA address and a major event for NRIs at Nassau Coliseum. Discover the details of his visit and the potential Quad summit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s U.S. Visit: A Major Agenda
On September 22, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit the United States for a significant series of events. His trip will include a high-profile address to the Indian diaspora and participation in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) sessions.
Community Event at Nassau Coliseum
The prime minister’s visit will commence with a special program organized for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). This event will be held at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, marking a notable gathering of the Indian community. This occasion is particularly significant as it occurs a decade after Modi’s last major address at Madison Square Garden in New York in September 2014.
UN General Assembly Address Scheduled
Following the community event, Modi will participate in the high-level session of the UNGA on September 26, 2024. The final list of speakers for this session has been confirmed by the United Nations. The high-level meeting will be part of the 79th session of the General Assembly, running from September 24 to September 30, 2024.
Preparation for the Long Island Event
Preparations for the Nassau Coliseum event are in full swing. The community is eagerly anticipating Modi’s address, reflecting on the impactful nature of his past speeches to Indian communities abroad.
Past Major Events with Global Leaders
This visit follows Modi’s notable addresses in the U.S., including the “Howdy Modi” event at NRG Stadium in Houston in 2019. That event featured a joint appearance with then U.S. President Donald Trump, underscoring the importance of Modi’s international engagements.
Potential Quad Summit on the Sidelines
There is speculation that the Quad summit could be scheduled alongside the UN summit. This year, India is poised to host the Quad summit, which involves India, the U.S., Australia, and Japan. Originally planned for January, the summit had to be postponed due to U.S. President Joe Biden’s scheduling conflicts.
UNGA Session Dates and Updates
The UNGA session will include various high-profile discussions and speeches, with the final list of speakers being updated periodically by the United Nations. The General Assembly’s annual meeting remains a crucial platform for global leaders to discuss international issues and strategies.
Looking Forward
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the U.S. is set to be a landmark event, reflecting both his diplomatic engagements and the evolving dynamics of international relations. The community event in Long Island and his UNGA address will highlight India’s role on the global stage and reinforce its diplomatic ties with the United States.
This visit promises to be a significant moment in India-U.S. relations, offering opportunities for bilateral dialogue and showcasing India’s growing influence in international affairs.
