For the first time ever, the GES summit is being held in India and the government is doing every bit possible to make it a huge hit internationally by appointing NITI Aayog as the organizer of the event, and in coordination with Ministry of External Affairs and Andhra Pradesh government, source said.
Since the country has already alarmed the issue of H1B visas, it would be an appropriate time for this joint collaboration to lead us to a greater understanding between the two countries.
The India-US joint statement in June stated, “Applauding the entrepreneurship and innovation of Indians and Indian-Americans that have directly benefitted both nations, President Trump welcomed India’s formal entry into the Expedited Traveler Initiative (global entry programme) in order to facilitate closer business and educational ties between the citizens of India and the United States.”
