Modi Goes West: Taking Stock of the Indian Prime Minister's US Trip
How did Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to the United States go?


By Rohan Joshi
October 02, 2015

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, just concluded a fairly eventful visit to the United States. At the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Modi spoke of his government’s focus on a wide range of issues, from economic growth and climate change, to poverty alleviation, energy security and sustainable development. In his UNGA address, delivered on Friday, September 25, at the UN’s Sustainable Development Summit, Modi also pitched for Security Council reforms, the prospects for which, however dim, received a shot in the arm as a result of the Kutesa Consensus earlier in September.

Before heading back to New Delhi, Modi also met with President Obama and the two leaders discussed climate change, clean energy, trade and investment, and regional security.

But what Modi chose to do in between his New York engagements — the UNGA address on the 26th and his meeting with Obama on the 29th – makes his second visit to the U.S. since assuming office even more significant. He traveled to California, meeting with business leaders of the state’s high-tech industry in Silicon Valley and delivered a speech to a near-capacity crowd of (mostly) Indian-Americans at the SAP Center in San Jose.
