‘Howdy Modi’ event sold out; new registrants on waitlist HOUSTON Over 50,000 attendees have registered in the past three weeks for a sold out “Howdy, Modi” community summit featuring India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, Sept. 22 at the NRG Stadium. The live audience will be the largest for an Indian Prime Minister in North America and the largest for a foreign leader in the United States other than Pope Francis. Attendees will celebrate a vibrant India and a strong U.S.-India relationship based on mutual respect and strong commercial and diplomatic ties. The summit, with the tagline of “Shared Dreams, Bright Futures” will also highlight the contributions of Indian-Americans to enrich the American life as well as the key role it has played in strengthening relations between the two nations.
This contribution spans across diverse fields of technology, education, medicine, energy, oil and gas, chemicals and pipelines and others. “I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Modi to Houston, home to one of the biggest and most vibrant Indian communities in the U.S.,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. “I know how much his visit means to not only the Indian diaspora in our city, but throughout the region. This historic visit will strengthen the already robust bonds between Houston and India on trade, culture and tourism – all of which benefit every Houstonian.” “On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Indian-Americans in Texas, and as co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, I welcome Prime Minister Modi See MODI, Page 16
