While it’s not completely clear what the specific topics of discussion will be, Apple CEO Tim Cook is attending a White House dinner on Thursday night with visiting India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and then the pair will meet again on Friday.
The dinner, hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will take place on Thursday evening. The state dinner and week-long meetings with US business and Modi is considered by India to be a coup in relationships, with a great deal of press attention focuses on the wheeling and dealing taking place.
Cook has not yet met with Modi on this trip. However, other deals struck so far include a new Micron chip plant in India, and a series of production deals with GE.
Cook also reportedly met with Modi, and India’s deputy IT minister, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, between the openings of Apple BKC in Mumbai, and the opening of Apple Saket in New Delhi.
