“My dream is to become a $20 trillion economy“.

“President and I share an uncompromising commitment on climate change, without affecting our ability to meet the development aspirations of humanity”.

In 2011, a court convicted 31 Muslims for the tragic train incident and charged them with murder and criminal conspiracy in the plot to kill the Hindu activists, which led to one of the worst religious clashes in years.

While Mr Modi said India-US partnership was driven by economic ties, Mr. Obama said: “We also had a chance to talk about trade and investment”, adding that Mr. Modi is hoping that Indian Americans can contribute to India’s growth.

Much of Modi’s US visit, on which he received rock-star welcomes, also focused on connecting with the Indian diaspora in Silicon Valley, the IT professionals who migrated in their droves over the past two decades to seize job opportunities that weren’t available back home.

Obama agreed that the road to Paris should be “inclusive” and allow “finance and technology” to the developing world rather than thrust down carbon emission cuts down throats of certain countries. The author says he has never found any evidence to support the claim that Modi’s mother was a domestic worker. Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar told Reuters last week that India’s peak year would be a “distant” one because it needed to fight poverty and give the more than 300 million Indians still living without power access to energy. While thanking Zuckerberg for his kind gesture, PM Modi informed the Facebook CEO that he also changed his profile picture on Facebook for Digital India.

I expressed our appreciation for continued U.

“This meeting and my visit demonstrates the extraordinary diversity of our relationship”, Modi said telling Obama “we value your friendship and the vision and commitment between our countries”.

And that encompasses everything from scientific exchanges and educational exchanges, to security cooperation and defence procurement.

“Now it is the time that every Indian can show people their strength”, he said in his hour-long speech. Many new faces that I see.

The Prime Minister said the Indo-US partnership addresses a broad range of strategic and security concerns.
