"Climate Change Will Be A Priority In Talks With Modi: U.S."

"'Advancing the ambitious climate change and clean energy agenda' and 'further enhancing our security and diplomatic cooperation across the Indo-Pacific region,' would be the focus of discussions between India and the U.S during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit this week, a State Department official told The Hindu.

Mr. Modi is scheduled to arrive in Washington on Monday evening on a three-day tour.

Mr. Modi will have a bilateral meeting with President Barack Obama, to be followed by a lunch at the White House on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he will address a joint session of Congress, which will be a demonstration of the bipartisan support that the India-US relationship has acquired."
