Washington:  Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the US Department of State, on Monday said his country will try to deepen relationship with India on numerous issues during PM Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to America.

Patel said: "I will just say is that we of course very much look forward to hosting Prime Minister Modi and the Indian Government for the state visit later this month."

"Our partnership with India is one of our most consequential and we look forward to continuing to deepen our collaboration on a number of issues, whether it be enhancing security cooperation, deepening our economic ties, deepening trade issues, and things of that sort. But I will let the visit speak for itself," he said.

During his visit, PM Modi has been invited by the United States Congress to address a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on an Official State Visit to the United States of America, which will include a state dinner on June 22 following an invitation from President Joseph Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
