PM Modi said he would also be meeting members of the Indian diaspora.
On Friday, PM Modi took to Facebook to write about his impending visit to the United States. He said he looked forward to the visit and hoped for ‘all-round engagement’ for mutual benefit, and consolidating ‘robust and wide-raging partnership between India and US’.

I will be visiting Washington, D.C. on 24-26 June at the invitation of President Donald J. Trump.
President Trump and I have spoken on telephone prior to this. Our conversations have touched upon our common intent to take forward our productive all round engagement for the mutual benefit of our people. I look forward to this opportunity to have an in depth exchange of views on further consolidating the robust and wide ranging partnership between India and the United States.
India’s partnership with the United States is multi-layered and diverse, supported by not just Governments but all the stakeholders on both sides. I look forward to building a forward looking vision for our partnership with the new Administration in the United States under President Trump.
Apart from official meetings with President Trump and his cabinet colleagues, I will be meeting some prominent American CEOs. As in the past, I look forward to interacting with the Indian diaspora in the United States as well.
Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar will call on US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to give final touches to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first meeting with President Donald Trump which the State Department said would strengthen bilateral ties in areas like counter-terrorism.
Jaishankar is also scheduled to meet Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan.
The Jaishankar-Tillerson meeting is likely to give final touches to the Modi-Trump meeting at the White House on Monday.
Jaishankar, a former Indian ambassador to the US, has been playing a leading role in shaping the India-US relationship under the Modi government.
"We're looking forward to strengthening ties between the United States and India," State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters at her daily news conference.
"We have a lot of areas of mutual cooperation, fighting terrorism, we have a lot of people-to-people ties, strong people-to-people ties; so we re looking forward to that visit," she said.
After Trump won the presidential elections last November, the two leaders have spoken over phone three times, the last being Trump's congratulatory phone call after the BJP won the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Modi will meet US President Donald Trump on June 26. He will hold talks with Trump on a range of issues, including terrorism and India's concerns over possible changes in H-1B visa rules.
India has time and again raised the issue of H-1B with the US authorities and asked them to liberalise the visa regime as Indian companies contribute significantly to the American economy.
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialised fields. The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year.
Apart from ways to enhance trade and business cooperation, Modi and Trump are expected to discuss defence ties.
