The US government has said it is looking forward to Indian PM Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to the country and said both countries share an important partnership.

Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the US Department of State, said during a press conference on Thursday: "We very much look forward to hosting Prime Minister Modi and members of the Indian Government at this next upcoming state visit. I’m not going to get ahead of what’s going to be discussed, but we have an important partnership with India, and we look forward to continuing to take steps to deepen that."

"And this next state visit will be an immense opportunity to talk about a number of shared priorities, including addressing the climate crisis, addressing trade issues, deepening our security cooperation, and a number of other areas as well," he said.

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, 2023, following an invitation from President Joseph Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, officials said on Wednesday.

"The visit will underscore the growing importance of the strategic partnership between India and the United States as the two nations collaborate across numerous sectors," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
