He thanked the Indian PM for inviting him to visit the monument.

Gates posted on X: "Thank you @narendramodi for the invitation to visit the impressive Statue of Unity. It is an engineering marvel and a great tribute to Sardar Patel. Also great to see it is creating economic opportunity for local tribal communities, especially women."

Gates also shared a video on Instagram where he could be seen standing in front of the monument.

Sharing the video, he posted: "Wow! I had a colossal visit to the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue. Thank you Prime Minister @narendramodi for the invitation to visit this engineering marvel and thanks Chief Minister @bhupendrapbjp to your government for hosting me."
