Washington: Award-winning international singer Mary Millben has been invited to perform at a diaspora reception organised by the United States Indian Community Foundation (USICF) during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official state visit to the United States. The event, taking place at the prestigious Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Centre in Washington, D.C., on June 23, will witness Millben’s enchanting performance, captivating not only PM Modi but also other esteemed guests.
The Steering Committee sent a formal invitation to Millben to participate in this spectacular occasion, along with being invited by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN to attend the 9th International Day of Yoga on June 21 at the UN Headquarters, where she will join Prime Minister Modi on the UNHQ North Lawn.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Millben conveyed through a video address that “the United States is in full anticipation and great excitement for the official state arrival visit of his excellency Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Prime Minister, we share many common bonds. We are both people of strong faith. We both value a strong family, and we both believe that the greatest democratic virtue is freedom. The United States and India, the two largest democracies in the world, both share these common bonds of faith, family, and freedom, as do the African American and Indian American communities.”
She further added that, “I have great anticipation and excitement as the Prime Minister visits the United States next week. This visit celebrates the U.S.-India relationship, the world’s two largest democracies, and the most important relationship in the world today.”
Notably, Millben has already made history with her musical talents by becoming the first American and African American artist to be invited to India for the momentous 75th anniversary of India’s independence celebrations. Her performance resonated with an audience of 1.4 billion people, leaving an indelible mark.
