Over 16,000 people, traveling from across the US, are expected at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on Sunday to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hear his much-anticipated speech. After arriving in New York, Modi expressed excitement about engaging with the Indian diaspora.
This event follows a busy week for Nassau County, which recently hosted a rally for former President Donald Trump. Modi’s address is part of a series of engagements, including the Quad Summit and the United Nations Summit of the Future.
Preparations for the event, titled “Modi and US: Progress Together,” have been extensive, with over 25,000 applications received, resulting in a tough selection process to accommodate the venue’s capacity. The cultural program preceding Modi’s speech will highlight the diversity of Indian culture, with priority given to children’s performances.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri noted the significant impact of the 4.5 million-strong Indian diaspora in the US, emphasizing their role as a living bridge between the two nations. For those unable to attend, the event will be simulcast on large screens at Times Square and in other locations.
The gathering aims to celebrate the achievements of the Indian community and strengthen the ties between the US and India, with transportation arranged for attendees traveling from various cities.
