He will be visiting the country at the invitation of Lao People’s Democratic Republic PM Sonexay Siphandone.

"During the visit, Prime Minister will attend the 21st ASEAN-India Summit and the 19th East Asia Summit being hosted by Lao PDR as the current Chair of ASEAN," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

India is marking a decade of the Act East Policy this year.

"Relations with ASEAN are a central pillar of the Act East Policy and our Indo-Pacific vision," MEA said.

The ASEAN-India Summit will review progress of India-ASEAN relations through our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and chart the future direction of cooperation.
