PM Narendra Modi And former US President Barack Obama
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met former United States President Barack Obama in New Delhi and said he looks forward to the work of the Obama Foundation, which the latter has launched since leaving office.
"It was a pleasure to meet, once again, former President @BarackObama, and learn about the new initiatives being taken forward under his leadership at the @ObamaFoundation and his perspectives on further strengthening India-US strategic partnership," Modi tweeted from his personal handle, @narendramodi.
Obama, on his first visit to India after demitting office this January, is now addressing a town hall meeting in which he is interacting
with nearly 300 young leaders drawn from various parts of the country.
Obama arrived in New Delhi on Thursday to address the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
Earlier today, Obama said that he liked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that he was friends with former prime minister Manmohan Singh.
The 44th President of the United States then quickly added how he admired Manmohan Singh, with whom he shared a friendly relationship during his eight-year tenure, which coincided with Singh being the Prime Minister in India.
"Manmohan) Singh was the primary partner while we were working during the financial meltdown (of 2008). When you look at the steps Singh took to modernising the economy, it was the foundation for modernising Indian economy," he said.
