U.S Is India's 'Natural Global Partner': PM Modi

"This is a moment of flux in the global order. I am confident in the destiny of our two nations, because democracy is the greatest source of renewal and, with the right conditions, offers the best opportunity for the human spirit to flourish," Modi said.

"With sensitivity to each other's point of view and the confidence of our friendship, we can contribute to more concerted international efforts to meet the pressing global challenges of our times," he said.

Modi emphasised the role of technology in building partnerships between the two nations.

"Our strengths in information technology are especially important for leadership in the digital age. The partnership between our businesses takes place in the comfort and certainty of similar political systems and shared commitment to rule of law. In education, innovation, and science and technology, the U.S continues to inspire India," he said.

After addressing the UN General Assembly on 27 September, and some 18,000 Indian-American community at the Madison Square Garden in New York on 28 September, Modi is scheduled to head to Washington for his maiden meeting with U.S President Barack Obama on 29 and 30 September at the White House.
