PM's address to new biz advocacy group in works
Business Standard
|June 10, 2023
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's itinerary for his June 21-24 US visit fledgling business advocacy group, the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF).
Interestingly, the PM's team has picked the USISPF, founded six years ago, over the much older and established US-India Business Council (USIBC), for his address to the American business community on US soil.
According to sources in New Delhi privy to the minutiae of the PM's US itinerary, Modi's address to the business advocacy group founded in August 2017 was being planned. If there is no change in plan, the PM addressing its members would mark the growing influence of the USISPF. The PM's address to the USISPF could take place at Washington DC's Kennedy Center on June 23, they said.
Business Standard reached out to president and chief executive officer of the USISPF, Mukesh Aghi, for details of the June 23 event. His response was awaited. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson said he was not in a position to comment on the PM's engagements in the US.
