Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who arrived in US for a five-day visit, said that he was 'deeply touched' by the warm welcome accorded to him.
"A big thank you for the warm welcome in New York! Deeply touched. Looking forward to a great trip ahead," Modi said in a tweet.
Modi, who arrived here Friday, was greeted by hundreds of people who were waiting for him at the Madison Avenue in New York, close to the hotel where he will be staying.
Outside his hotel, he was greeted with the 'Har Har Modi' slogan, heard first during the Lok Sabha poll campaign. A large group of Indians, who had gathered outside his hotel, were also carrying placards with messages such as 'We love Modi' 'America loves Modi' and 'Indian American loves Modi'.
They were also shouting slogans in support of Prime Minister Modi and were also chanting 'Vande Mataram' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai', besides the 'Har Har Modi' chants.
In a rare gesture, Modi came out of his huge convoy to greet the large number of people gathered outside his hotel to welcome him.
