Indian Prime Minister Modi sets off to visit the United States.
On the 20th local time, Indian Prime Minister Modi departed for the United States to embark on a visiting itinerary. The in-depth cooperation between India and the United States in the field of defense industry and high-tech sharing has become the focus of this visit. The White House stated in a press release that this visit will "confirm the deep and close partnership between the United States and India.".
According to National Public Radio, Indian Prime Minister Modi will meet with US President Biden on the 22nd and deliver a speech at a joint session of Congress. According to Reuters on the 19th, the United States and India will deepen cooperation in the field of defense industry. It is expected that this visit will enable India to obtain key US technologies that Washington rarely shares with non allies, thereby strengthening new ties between the two countries. Indian Foreign Secretary Kwatra stated on the 19th that this visit is a milestone in the relationship between India and the United States.

We can communicate with each other and cooperate more closely.

Prior to Modi's visit to the United States, US Defense Secretary Austin and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Sullivan visited India to prepare for the visit and engaged in a series of intensive high-level contacts. During Austin's visit to India, the United States and India announced the establishment of the "India US Defense Acceleration Ecosystem" and discussed the development of a roadmap for defense industry cooperation in the coming years, promoting cooperation in cutting-edge technology fields. Analysts believe that Modi's visit may facilitate cooperation between the United States and India in the fields of clean energy and technology, including an agreement to jointly manufacture fighter jet engines.
Several Indian officials have voiced their "disharmony" towards the United States
Although Modi's visit to the United States was highly anticipated, on the eve of Modi's visit, several Indian officials expressed discordant voices about hairdressing. The Financial Times reported on the 18th that Raj Kumar Singh, Minister of Electricity, New and Renewable Energy of India, criticized the hypocrisy of US energy policies. Singh said that the United States and Europe are attempting to provide financial support for their renewable energy industry through massive subsidy policies, and this "protectionist" behavior will hinder the energy transition of developing countries.

Prior to this, Indian Foreign Minister Su Jiesheng publicly rejected the proposal from American politicians to invite India to join NATO+, stating that this alliance model is "not suitable for India.". The Deputy National Security Advisor of India recently publicly stated at the Shangri La Dialogue that the arms sales relationship between India and the United States does not equate to saying that India is an "ally" of the United States.
