Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a huge gathering of the Indian diaspora on his US tour and praised the contributions of the Indian community living in the US, calling them ‘Rashtradoots’ or brand ambassadors of India.
“I have always understood the capabilities of the Indian community. I understood it even when I held no official position. For me, all of you have been strong brand ambassadors of India. This is why I call you ‘Rashtradoots’,” he told the crowd of around 13,000 people at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York, where the event was organised.
“We belong to a country where there are dozens of languages and dialogues, all faiths and religions of the world, and yet we are moving forward united,” he said, speaking at the ‘Modi and US’ event, as part of his three-day visit to the country.
PM Modi also noted the magnitude of the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year, which his party won for a historic third consecutive time.
Modi also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to United States President Joe Biden for his warm hospitality during a visit to his home in Delaware.
On Saturday, PM Modi arrived in Biden’s home town in Wilmington, Delaware for the Quad summit and the two leaders held bilateral talks. The two spoke about ways to further improve India-US ties and exchanged views on regional and global issues.
PM Modi and Biden attended the Quad Leaders’ Summit, along with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The sixth Quad summit saw the four leaders discuss a range of global issues, from maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region to health, climate change and the present geopolitical scenario.
PM Modi’s three-day US visit will conclude with an address at the Summit of Future at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Monday.
