NEW DELHI: Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday announced his upcoming visit to India later this year.
Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's social media post on X, Musk said, "It was an honour to speak with PM Modi."
"I am looking forward to visiting India later this year!" he added.
This comes a day after PM Modi had a conversation with Tesla and SpaceX CEO revisiting topics from their earlier in-person meeting in Washington DC earlier this year.
The two leaders spoke about bolstering collaboration between India and the United States in the areas of technology and innovation.
“Spoke to Elon Musk and talked about various issues, including the topics we covered during our meeting in Washington DC earlier this year,” PM Modi posted on social media platform X.
“We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation. India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains,” he added.
PM Modi and Musk had previously met in February during PM’s two-day state visit to the US, where both sides expressed optimism about future cooperation in emerging sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and space.
During the meeting, the PM had presented books to Elon Musk’s three children. He had gifted them The Crescent Moon by Rabindranath Tagore, The Great RK Narayan Collection, and Panchatantra by Pandit Vishnu Sharma. He later shared photos that show the kids reading the books.
The PM Modi-Musk call comes at a crucial juncture when permission for Starlink is stuck for security clearance. It also comes against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations for a proposed bilateral trade agreement between New Delhi and Washington.
