Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi to arrive in Ireland today

He will also visit the Google campus and Tesla Motors.

“Start-ups, innovation and manufacturing are the thrust areas of this visit”, said Vikas Swarup, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs.

The bulk of the discussions, hosted by US Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, were to take place later yesterday, but the dialogue opened on Monday at a dinner attended by Vice President Joe Biden. Modi will meet Barack Obama on September 28, his third summit meeting with the US President in about a year.

The American companies that will feature during this meeting include Lockheed Martin, Ford, IBM, PepsiCo, GE, Boeing and MasterCard, among many others.

That is to be followed by a meeting with Mike Burke, the CEO of AECOM, an infrastructure engineering and design company that works on an array of projects ranging from construction to transportation, and from environment to mining, oil and gas. He will also meet CEOs, travel to the Silicon Valley, and address the Indian community.

“I have now sought Ireland’s support for India’s membership of the NSG and other worldwide export control regimes”.

“I was pleased to exchange views on a broad range of global challenges, including terrorism, radicalization and the situation in Europe and Asia”, Modi said at a joint media event with Kenny.

Earlier, Monday the US-India CEO Forum, the primary mechanism for engaging the United States and Indian private sectors, had its meeting at the Commerce Department.

Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif is also staying at the Waldorf.

On Friday, Modi turns to high-level diplomacy. “But it is India that?s now undergoing its own revolution”, he said in a YouTube video. “We are confident the PM is the right person to trust to increase foreign investments for India“, said Lalubhai Parekh, president of the Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP).

PM Modi is scheduled to host a meeting with the leaders of G4 nations- Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan and will hold talks with the leaders on reforms in the UNSC. He said all the rating agencies were saying that India is the fastest growing economy in the world, and “if this trend continues, then in another 30 years, there will be no sign of poverty (in India)”. The Prime Minister hopes for a power packed summit, the first of its kind in nearly a decade, during the United Nations General Assembly in US.

“A packed schedule awaits in the BIg Apple”.

The measure would have forced internet users to preserve copies of communications sent over encrypted services, including social media such as Twitter and Facebook, for three months.

At Google, another stop in the Silicon Valley, Modi will look at their health care and grid programmes.
