New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India awaits the arrival of US President Donald Trump, asserting that his visit will further strengthen the friendship between the two countries.
"India awaits your arrival @POTUS @realDonaldTrump! Your visit is definitely going to further strengthen the friendship between our nations," Modi tweeted.
"See you very soon in Ahmedabad," he said, responding to a tweet by Trump that he was leaving for India with the US First Lady.
Trump is scheduled to arrive at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International airport at around 11.40am on Monday. Modi left for the city on Monday morning where will hold a roadshow along with Trump and participate in 'Namaste Trump' event at the Motera Stadium.
The US President, who is also accompanied by daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner and top brass of his administration, will get a taste of India's cultural potpourri during his Gujarat itinerary which is high on symbolism, especially after the bonhomie between the two leaders at the 'Howdy, Modi!' event in Houston during the Indian prime minister's visit to the US in September last year.
Dance groups and singers from different parts of the country will be performing on stages that are dotting the 22-km route of the 'India roadshow' in the city that has was been spruced up for Trump's visit.
Huge billboards of the two leaders and replicas of historic places in Gujarat, Modi's native state, have also been placed along the roads where people will greet the two leaders.
