PM Narendra Modi may hold bilateral meeting with Barack Obama

New Delhi, Apr 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be visiting the US in early June for a bilateral meeting with President Barack Obama who is said to be inviting some world leaders before he demits office in January next.

The US has indicated to the Indian side that Obama would be interested in meeting Modi once more before he demits office after two four-year terms, sources said.

They added that there is a possibility of the Prime Minister travelling to Washington sometime in early June for the same. No dates have been finalised yet, the sources said.

It is believed that the US President is extending similar invitations to some other world leaders.

Modi, who became the Prime Minister in May 2014, has already been to the US thrice, the latest being earlier this month for the Nuclear Security Summit.

During Modi's tenure, Obama also visited India in January last year when he was the Chief Guest at the Republic Day.
