Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet the Indian diaspora at the Nassau Coliseum in New York today. Earlier, he participated in the Quad Summit, where he shared India's perspectives and commitments toward global growth, development, peace, and security.

Here are the key highlights of the story:

  1. Warm Welcome from the Indian Diaspora: Upon his arrival at the Hotel Lotte Palace in New York, PM Modi was greeted by Indian diaspora members with a dance performance to an Indian folk song, accompanied by chants of "Modi! Modi!" One diaspora member expressed, “Modi ji has brought the golden age of India back. This is a historical moment for us to cherish.”

  2. Memorable Meeting with an Artist: A member of the Indian community, whose painting was signed by PM Modi, shared her experience with news agency ANI. The painting, which is based on the theme of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), caught the Prime Minister's attention. Upon learning that the artist hails from the Mithila region, PM Modi showed special interest in the artwork.

  3. Bilateral Engagements with Global Leaders: Prior to the Quad Summit, PM Modi had separate bilateral meetings with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and U.S. President Joe Biden. A special aspect of the meeting with President Biden was the return of 297 antiquities to India, some of which were on display at the U.S. President's residence during the meeting.

  4. Quad Summit and Indo-Pacific Cooperation: At the Quad Leadership Summit, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri shared that PM Modi highlighted India's approach of collaboration and engagement for growth across the Indo-Pacific region. PM Modi referred to the Quad as “quick unified assistance delivery (QUAD),” which resonated with the other members of the summit.

  5. Promoting Democratic Values: During the discussions, PM Modi emphasized that the Quad's coming together at a time of global tensions and conflicts, especially with its foundation in shared democratic values, is crucial for humanity. He affirmed that the Quad is here to assist, partner, and complement the efforts of the Indo-Pacific countries.

  6. Cancer Moonshot Initiative: A major outcome of the summit was the announcement of the Quad Cancer Moonshot, a collaborative effort to tackle global cancer challenges, with a specific focus on cervical cancer.

  7. Reforming Multilateral Systems: The summit also saw discussions on various regional and global issues, with a key focus on the need for reforms in the multilateral governance system, including the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
