Obama praises Modi for ‘bold’ policy move on GST reform
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of East Asia Summit in Vientiane, Laos.
Vientiane: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of East Asia Summit in Vientiane, Laos.
This is the 8th meeting between the two leaders since Modi took office in May 2014.
"Two democracies and a defining partnership of our era! PM meets President Obama @POTUS on sidelines of EAS," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.
The meeting was "extremely warm and cordial", Swarup said after the meeting.
This could be their last meeting as leaders of the two countries with Obama's second term as US President coming to an end in November.
Modi and Obama met for the first time at the White House in September 2014 when Modi travelled to Washington DC at the invitation of Obama.
Prime Minister Modi exchanged views with Obama on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China's Hangzhou on Sunday, with the US president praising the "bold policy" move on GST reform in a "difficult" global economic scenario.
Obama is scheduled to address a news conference in Laos immediately after his meeting with Modi.
He would depart for the US via Yokota, Japan for fueling, soon after his news conference.
