According to the report, when PM Modi landed at New York’s John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport on June 20, 2023, people of Indian origin enthusiastically welcomed him. PM Modi was on a state visit to the US from June 21 to 24 last year.</p>.<p>According to recent media reports, after finishing his recent visit to Poland, PM Modi reached Kyiv (the Capital of Ukraine) on August 23 via a special train.
