Honour that awaits PM Modi in US, only few have got in past, says EAM Jaishankar


New Delhi, Jun 17 (IANS): Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's US visit, Union External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Saturday said that the honour that the Prime Minister will get there, only a few have got in the past.

Speaking to the media here while travelling in a bus, Jaisdhankar said, "The Prime Minister will be on a state visit to the US. State visit means it is the highest level in terms of honour."

He said, "The respect that the Prime Minister gets, only a few people have been given in the past."

The Minister asserted that in an unprecedented move, an Indian Prime Minister will address the US Congress for the second time. "Earlier, eminent people like Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill have addressed the US Congress twice or more. That is the reason why its importance is huge," he added.

Jaishankar, along with Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, LoP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri took the Vikas Tirath Yatra in south Delhi by travelling in a bus.

Prime Minister Modi will be visiting the US from June 21-24 at the invitation of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. The visit includes a state dinner as well as an address to the Joint Session of the Congress on June 22.

Modi's state visit to the US will commence in New York, where the Prime Minister will lead celebrations marking the International Day of Yoga at the UN headquarters on June 21.

    I don’t think these ministers would have praised their families so much like they praise their ‘ supreme leader’. Shameless It’s disgusting to see this happening.

    You're just praising him your Feku Boss. Because you're Andhbhakth. When he was CM of Gujrath many times his US visa was rejected because of Gujrath riots . What shame to Modi. Who respect him in India or internationally. He spilled India s image worldwide because of his Hitler philosophy. He was uninvited guest in many countries. From last nine years he wasted highest amount tax payers money on his international trips. what a loot of tax payers money on his suits accessories on mushrooms etc.. if that amount would have been spend on health infrastructure Education, and Employment schmes.. We will have BJP mukth in 2024 LS. Then India will prosper

    State visits are visits to the United States led by a foreign head of state acting in his or her sovereign capacity. They are, therefore, described as a "visit of [name of state]".[1] State visits can only occur on the invitation of the president of the United States, acting in his capacity as head of the United States. Official visits, in contrast, are usually visits by the chief of government of a foreign state. Like state visits, they can only occur on the invitation of the president of the United States, though are offered in the president's capacity as chief of the federal government of the United States. The visit of a crown prince may also be classified as an official visit. Both state and official visits generally consist of a four-day stay in Washington by the visitor, during which a range of welcoming ceremonies are performed. They are often followed by a tour.[2][3] State visits to the United States are always reciprocated, at a later time, with a state visit by the United States. In addition, U.S. diplomatic policy is to host no more than one state visit from any single nation in a four-year period. Because of these rules, some visits of foreign states with executive presidents may be classified as official visits, instead of state visits.[3] There are, in addition, working visits and official working visits, which are of a largely functional nature and done to conduct business, such as negotiations, consultations, or treaty signings.[2] Private visits are visits of a head of state or chief of government to the United States for personal reasons, such as a holiday or for medical treatment.[2] Stop bluffing, please.

    Nelson Mandela and Churchill will rolling in their graves when they hear about them being equally treated with the ‘ Godra murderer’ EAM Jaishankar, your comments on your boss doesn’t match your class. Don’t stoop to such low level. Your a gentleman, and it doesn’t look good when you praise a an educated person like your boss.
