PM Modi invites US President to visit India, as Obama expresses his desire to visit Taj Mahal with wife

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit here, their eighth meeting in the last two years.

The PM invited President Obama to visit India after his term ends later this year, to which the US leader replied that he hasn't been to Taj with Michelle Yet.

“Two democracies and a defining partnership of our era! PM meets President Obama @POTUS on sidelines of EAS,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.

This could be their last meeting as leaders of the two countries with Obama’s second term as US President coming to an end in November.

They met for the first time at the White House in September 2014 when Modi travelled to Washington DC at the invitation of Obama.
