The two leaders are also likely to address the situation in Bangladesh, along with other regional and global issues.
India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri during a press briefing last week said that the prime minister's visit to the US at the invitation of President Trump, weeks after his inauguration, shows the "importance of India-US partnership and is also reflective of the bipartisan support that this partnership enjoys in the US."
It will be a "valuable opportunity" to engage the new administration in all areas of mutual interest, he added.
PM Modi will hold a bilateral meeting with President Trump in both restricted and delegation-level formats, he said.
"There is an obvious convergence of interests between the two countries in a number of areas -- trade, investment, technology, defence cooperation, counterterrorism, Indo-Pacific security, and of course, people-to-people relations," he said.
"The 5.4 million-strong Indian community in the US and the more than 3,50,000 students from India who are pursuing studies in universities strengthen this bond immeasurably," Misri said.
"The prime minister's visit to the United States will give further direction and momentum to this important partnership. We expect a joint statement to be adopted at the end of the visit and will share that in due course," the foreign secretary said.

He later said on X, "This visit will further cement India-USA friendship and boost ties in diverse sectors. I warmly recall working with President Trump during his first term and I am sure our talks will build on the ground covered then."
