Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday returned to India after concluding his US visit, where he held bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden, attended the first in-person Quad Summit and addressed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
PM Modi reached the Palam Airport in Delhi and was received by BJP chief JP Nadda, party general secretaries Arun Singh and Tarun Chugh, former Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and senior party functionaries.
The BJP leaders received PM Modi and welcomed him with ‘Dhol’ and ‘Nagadhas’.
Addressing a gathering present to welcome Narendra Modi, BJP chief JP Nadda said, “PM Modi’s 5-day visit to the US proves that the world views India differently under his leadership. On behalf of crores of Indians, we welcome him back.”
“His friendship with US President Joe Biden is not new, they share an old bond. The same was also reiterated by US President.”
“PM Modi has established India as a global player with discussion on terrorism, climate change, and how a solution can be brought with everyone’s participation,” he added.
During his three-day visit, Prime Minister Modi was first hosted by President Joe Biden at the White House. They both held a bilateral meeting, which was the first in-person meet between the two leaders after Biden took over as US President in January this year.
Modi also held bilateral meetings with Vice President Kamala Harris and CEOs of several American companies.
Later, the Prime Minister attended the first in-person Quad Summit and held bilateral meetings with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Japan Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on the sidelines of the summit.
During the summit, he proposed a common international travelling protocol involving mutual recognition of the COVID-19 vaccination certificate.
On his final day in the US, PM Modi addressed the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla had earlier described that PM Modi’s visit to the US has been “very successful”
