Obama received the briefing on his Cabinet ministers recent trip to India when Secretary of State John Kerry and Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel met him at the White House on Tuesday and Monday respectively.
Neither of these were India specific meetings, but a routine meeting that Obama has with his key Cabinet ministers on a regular basis.
"The President after the election of Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi, invited him to Washington. We're still working on locking down a date. The president does look forward to meeting with the Prime Minister at a mutually convenient time," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters yesterday.
Referring to the recent India trip by Kerry and Hagel during which they not only met their Indian counterparts but also Modi, Earnest said they discussed the very broad relationship between the United States and India.
"Items on the agenda included national security and counter-terrorism cooperation for sure. There were also discussions about the economic ties and trade relationship that exists between India and the United States," he said.
"When talking about climate change, this is an issue that is constantly on the agenda when there are discussions between high level members of the US government, and high level members of the Indian government," he said.
At the time of his visit to India to co-chair the fifth India-US Strategic Dialogue with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj on July 31, Kerry had said, "This is the moment to transform our strategic relationship into a historic partnership.
