WASHINGTON (AFP) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the White House on Tuesday for his first formal talks with President Barack Obama.
Modi approached the West Wing of the presidential complex in a black sports utility vehicle before the Oval Office meeting, after driving through a color guard of US troops and Marines in ceremonial dress.
Modi launched his Washington visit late on Monday at a private dinner hosted by Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in the ornate Blue Room of the White House.
He came to Washington after wowing members of the Indian diaspora in New York and making his debut at the United Nations General Assembly, following his Bharatiya Janata Party s (BJP) landslide election win in May.
