Day one in Washington:

Yesterday when PM Modi landed in the US and began his formal engagements on a solemn note by honouring sacrifice and saluting valour at Arlington National Cemetery which is the final resting place of thousands of American veterans.

PM had then laid a wreath at Space Shuttle Columbia Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. Families of astronaut Sunita Williams and Kalpana Chawla were also present then.

One highlight of the yesterday was US returning to India 200 stolen cultural objects. PM then had an interaction with the foreign policy makers in Washington.
