“By working together, our countries can effectively address issues such as climate change, workforce development, health and security.

The oldest and the greatest and the largest democracies could lead the world in establishing greater peace and success in economic development around the world,” he said.

Prime Minister Modi, he said, is quite popular in the US.

“And I heard in the media, President Biden said that there was a good trouble, which Prime Minister Modi was creating with his visit, where a large number of Indian-Americans were asking to visit the White House during his visit, he said.

“I’m hearing that there could be a few thousand Americans in the South Lawn, as part of the (White House) welcome ceremony. So definitely, I mean, he is very popular, because there’s a huge development, which has happened in India in the last few years, which could not have been imagined earlier. India is one of the largest economies and there’s a largest market as well as, now leading in the world in providing in all areas. So definitely that gives credibility to Prime Minister Modi’s popularity,” Mr Bhutoria said.
