Obama Likely To Seek Modi's Support Against ISIS

The White House, however, has refused to make any comment on the substance of discussion between Obama and Modi next week.

"As we've said, we believe there is a role for all countries to play. Beyond that, I'm not in position to preview the substance of the visit yet," Caitlin Hayden, spokesperson of the National Security Council of the White House said.

Obama, in New York, held a meeting with Arab nations which participated in the air strikes against ISIS.

"I just came from a meeting in which we were actually able to get Arab countries, many of which have historically been on opposite sides of issues and sectarian conflicts in the region, all united around fighting ISIL and eradicating the ideology, the extreme fanaticism that underlies what's happening in ISIL," Obama told a Democratic Party fund raiser.

In his meeting with coalition partners, Obama said the emergence of ISIS has threatened lives of people.

ISIS militants have executed two American journalists and a British aid worker in Syria, prompting the West to join hands to combat the terror group.
