Washington DC/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday is attending a luncheon hosted by US Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department.

PM Modi is currently on a historic state visit to the US at the invitation of President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, he addressed the joint session of the US Congress followed by a state dinner hosted by President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at The White House.

PM Modi became the first Indian leader to address the joint session of the US Congress twice on Thursday.

"The US-India partnership is stronger than ever. Together, our nations will shape the future as we work to create a more prosperous, secure, and healthy world," Kamala Harris' office tweeted on Thursday.
