Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the US next week and meet President Donald Trump, the White House says, APA reports citing BBC.
Other reports say Modi will attend a dinner hosted by the US president on the two-day trip. The dates of the official working visit have yet to be announced.
Modi will be among the first foreign leaders to meet Trump at the White House during his second term. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently in Washington and Japan's PM Shigeru Ishiba is due this week.
Modi and Trump shared warm relations during the US president's first term. Last week they held a "productive" phone call and discussed illegal immigration, security and trade ties, the White House said.
Trump called Modi a "great leader" last year but also accused India of charging excessive tariffs.
Confirmation of the Indian leader's visit to Washington came shortly after a US military flight deporting about 100 Indian nationals landed in the state of Punjab.
