Obama finds Modi honest and direct: White House
Washington, Dec 3 (IBNS) US President Barrack Obama, who has had a number of meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, finds the man to be honest and direct, according to the White House.
"President Obama has found Prime Minister Modi to be somebody who is honest and direct, somebody who has good command of the facts, somebody who has a clear understanding of the issues that confront his country and our relationship," Josh Earnest, White House press secretary told reporters here on Wednesday.
"He (Modi) also is somebody that has a clear vision for where he wants to take his country, and it makes him not just an effective politician, but an effective Prime Minister," Earnest said.
"Obama certainly does respect Prime Minister Modi and has appreciation for his skills and abilities as a politician. He also is somebody who is given a very difficult challenge of sitting atop the world’s largest democracy," he said.
When asked about the PM's visit to the White House, he said that he was not aware of any such development but does not rule out any possibilities on the same.
Earnest said, "I’m not aware of any meetings that are on the agenda at this point, but I certainly wouldn’t rule out another visit by Prime Minister Modi before the end of next year."
