Narendra Modi US Congressman describes Narendra Modi as a 'special guest' ahead of his US visit
US congressman Mike Collins has praised Indian PM Narendra Modi and described him as the 'special guest'.
While highlighting the joint efforts made by New Delhi and Washington to counter terrorism and the “big enemy, China", he was quoted as saying by ANI: "And, you know, India and the United States, we not just have great relations economically, but we also both fight together on countering terrorism, them and, of course, that big enemy out there, China."
“Look forward to hearing from you, Prime Minister. Look forward to hearing what you have to say while you’re here in DC. Come look us up over here in Longworth, and we’ll maybe even get to talk a little bit of SEC football with the University of Georgia,” the US Congressman added.
