Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a four day visit to the US, was on Thursday received by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House for a state dinner. Sources said that PM Modi gifted a handcrafted sandalwood box to President Joe Biden, and a 7.5 carat lab-grown and eco-friendly green diamond to the First Lady Jill Biden.
The diamond reflects earth-mined diamonds’ chemical and optical properties. It is also eco-friendly, as eco-diversified resources like solar and wind power were used in its making, sources from the Prime Minister's office said. The green diamond symbolises India’s 75 years of freedom and sustainable International relations.
PM Modi also gifted a copy of the first edition print of the book 'The Ten Principal Upanishads' to President Joe Biden. In return, the US President and First Lady gifted a handmade, antique American book galley from the Bidens. Sources said that the first couple also gifted PM Modi a vintage American camera, a hardcover book of American wildlife photography and a signed, first edition copy of 'Collected Poems of Robert Frost.
