Ireland followed by USA will be the first leg of Modi's seven day trip

In the first leg of his seven-day trip, Narendra Modi will visit Ireland, marking first Prime Ministerial visit from India in almost 60 years before heading for USA.

In Dublin, he will hold talks with Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach of Ireland.

"We hope to further develop strong people-to-people and economic ties with Ireland in the years to come," Modi said ahead of the visit.

He will also have a brief interaction with the Indian community before leaving for New York tomorrow evening.

In New York, Modi will address a UN Sustainable Development Summit and participate in a Summit on peacekeeping being hosted by US President Barack Obama.

The Prime Minister will also be meeting several world leaders and have interactions with leading investors and financial sector firms. There will be a working dinner where major Fortune-500 companies will be present to deliberate on investment opportunities in India.

He will also travel to West Coast where he will visit Facebook Headquarters for a Townhall Q&A with its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He will also visit Google campus and Tesla Motors.

In San Jose, he will interact with the Indian community on September 27.

"This visit seeks to build on the substantial ground covered during my last visit to USA and President Obama's visit to India early this year," he had said.

"I am sure my US visit will be fruitful and further deepen the bond between the world's oldest and largest democracies," he said.
