teamwork will strengthen “cooperation in bilateral and multilateral forums
such as the G20, Quad, and IPEF.”

In addition, he
conveyed his desire to meet the “vibrant Indian-American community that
reflects the best of our societies.”

He wrote, “I am
confident that the visit to the United States will strengthen our ties based on
our shared values of democracy, diversity, and freedom.” Further stating

challenges”

Fattah El-Sisi on his initial trip to Egypt.

He stated that his
visit represents the “rapidly evolving partnership with Egypt, which was
elevated to a ‘Strategic Partnership’ during the visit of President Sisi.”

Since assuming power in

the Indian-American community. Modi will be among the very few leaders to
deliver multiple addresses to a joint session of the United States Congress.
