Indian PM Modi to deliver historic address to US Congress

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited to address Congress during his visit to Washington, DC later this month, marking the second time he will address a joint session of Congress. The invitation was extended by Democratic and Republican leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives, who said the speech would celebrate the "enduring friendship" between the two countries and provide an opportunity for Modi to share his vision for India's future and speak to the global challenges faced by both nations. Modi's visit comes amid intensifying competition between the US and China, and as India has become a major geopolitical and economic power.
