The maiden meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would “set forth a vision” to expand the U.S.-India partnership in an ambitious way, the White House has said.

The leaders of the world’s two largest countries, home to 1.6 billion people, will meet on June 26 to discuss a gamut of bilateral issues including terrorism and India’s concerns over possible changes in H-1B visa rules.

“I think you can expect the two of them to set forth a vision that will expand the U.S.-India partnership in an ambitious and worthy way of both countries’ people,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at his daily news conference.

Mr. Spicer said the two leaders were expected to set forth a “common vision” on expanding the U.S.-India partnership. He cited fighting terrorism, promoting economic growth and reforms and expanding security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region as shared priorities.

“President Trump and Prime Minister Modi will look to outline a common vision for the United States-India partnership that is worthy of their 1.6 billion citizens,” Mr. Spicer said.

Mr. Trump invited Mr. Modi to Washington after the Indian leader rang him in January to congratulate the new President on his inauguration.

“The President and the Prime Minister have had a number of positive phone conversations, and expect to further that discussion … whether it’s economic growth and reforms, fighting terrorism, expanding our cooperation as major defence partners,” Mr. Spicer said in response to a question.
