NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Afghanistan this week on his way to the US where he is scheduled to address a joint session of the Congress on June 8, NDTV said on Sunday
The news channel quoted sources as saying that Mr Modi will first go to Afghanistan on June 4, where he will inaugurate the Salma Dam in Herat that has been funded by India.
After that, he will head for Qatar on June 5 for a bilateral visit. He will hold talks with Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, where economic ties, especially about the hydrocarbon sector, will be high on the agenda, NDTV said.
He will stop in Switzerland en route to his meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington. The Switzerland visit is being worked out for June 6. There, NDTV said, he could raise the black money issue with Swiss authorities — one of the key election promises of his Bharatiya Janata Party.
In the US, Mr Modi is set to have bilateral meetings on June 7 and June 8. He will be addressing a joint session of the US Congress on June 8.
He is then expected to visit Mexico before returning home on June 10.

Dams are a great asset for a nation and one hopes afghans will get the full benefit of the water stored here. There are lots of people both in India and Pakistan who think this world touring is a waste of time but Modi is planting seeds for the future of India by making or tightening existing connections so India and the world participate in an economic journey. Over time Modi will force even his detractors to stop criticizing and do something useful for their country.

It is a shame that while millions of indians themselves live in poverty and starve, our government goes around spending money in other countries. The Afghan people are with Pakistan, we have to accept that. Aiding Afghan government which changes with the weather and is subservient to so many benefactors is throwing money away. We should sincerely address all issues with pakistan, specially kashmir and cut our defence expenditure to aid our poor.

Addressing the relation ship with Pakistan shall take time as the narratives of both countries are totally opposite and it would take time and finally we all saw what happened when we had a very low defense expenditure in 1962 with China , I am sure you being a patriotic Indian don't want that to happen again.

@Zak Pakistan's debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio stands at 66.4%, in which foreign debt is Rs 6.4 trillion and domestic debt is Rs 12 trillion. The external debt servicing reached close to $7 billion in fiscal year 2014, which is almost 50% of the current reserves of the State Bank of Pakistan. Where as India's debt stood at Rs 59,07,316 crore, earnings (tax revenue) Rs 11,26,294 crore and GDP at Rs 1,24,88,205 crore. It means, India’s debt was 5.2 times its tax earnings and 0.47 times its national output or GDP. Which means India's debt-to-GDP is at 47.1 per cent.

@Lafanga Sushma Swaraj is a very effective foreign minister. If there is any Induan anywhere in trouble outside India, she gets the issues resolved promptly. She works quietly and does follow ups on Modi's meetings, particularly in the neighborhood. Modi has visited China once but she has gone there 3 times.
Don't compare Nawaz's trips where he buys Rolex with Modi's where he travels in night and sleeps on plane to save time. Modi's visits are highly focused on advancing India's goals.
No doubt Modi has some detractors but by and large he is a very popular PM. Corruption in central government is almost unheard of these days.

@awais india repeatedly tried to improve trade and people to people interactions and it was always scuttled by your establishment. In Jan 2013 a ground breaking agreement to liberalize trade and visas was to be signed. Just a one week prior to that to Indian soldiers were beheaded. In April 2014 breakthrough trade agreement was to be signed and at the last moment Pakistan withdrew without assigning any reason. I could give many more examples but I hope you get the point.

Noble thoughts. When PM Modi came to power he invited everyone to join hands and be a part of Indian progress. Even today he is going around the world looking for investment and trade opportunities.
India gave Pakistan MFN status last century but Pakistan which is obligated under WTO to reciprocate has refused to do so. EVEN free trade and connectivity among SAARC countries has been stalled by Pakistan.
