Indian PM Narendra Modi will be meeting his good friend, the US President Barack Obama, for probably the last time in the latter’s regime as POTUS in Hangzhou, China next month. Both the leaders would be there to attend the G20 summit on September 4th and 5th.
Before that, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker will be coming to India for the Indo-US strategic and commercial dialogue in Delhi on August 30th and 31st, where a key cyber relationship document, agreed upon during Modi's June trip to Washington, will be signed.

Even though Modi will not be travelling to NYC for United Nations general assembly meeting, he will be Laos for barely one day during the September 7-8 East Asia and India-Asean summits. It would be difficult for him to meet Obama during that time. This is the reason why the two sides are trying to organise a meeting in China so that Obama and Modi get a chance to review measures that they have initiated to strengthen the bilateral ties between India and US since mid-2014.

During these meetings, the two leaders have formed a good rapport with each other, with US declaring India a major defence partner and taking measures against Pakistan, India’s neighbouring country with whom India shares a tense political relationship.
