Modi to be first world leader to have White House dinner with Trump

Washington, June 24 : Seeking to “roll out a red-carpet welcome” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump would host him for a working dinner at the White House on Monday, the first of its kind under the administration. “The White House is very interested in making this a special visit. We’re really seeking to roll out the red carpet. In fact, the two (leaders) will have dinner, a working dinner at the White House. This will be the first dinner for a foreign dignitary at the White House under this administration. So, we think that’s very significant,” a senior administration official told reporters at the White House on the eve of Modi’s arrival.
Modi arrives in the US Capitol on Saturday night on a three-day visit during which he would have a meeting with Trump at the White House. Beginning Monday afternoon, the two leaders would spend several hours together in various settings, including one-on-one, delegation level, a reception and conclude with a working dinner.
