Narendra Modi met US Vice President Kamala Harris

Prime Minister Narendra Modi added a personal touch to a diplomatic gesture as he met US Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday and discussed a host of global issues, including the pandemic and Pakistan's role in terrorism. This was the first meeting between the two world leaders since January when Ms Harris became the first person of Indian-origin to be sworn-in as the US Vice President. After what both leaders described as a "fruitful" meeting, the Prime Minister gave Ms Harris, 56, a five-decade-old government notification that mentioned her grandfather - PV Gopalan. As a government officer, Mr Gopalan had served in various roles. The 1966 notification was gifted in a handcrafted wooden frame.
