During his upcoming visit to the United States, Prime Minister Modi will visit the Facebook headquarters at Menlo Park in San Francisco in USS on September 27. He will be addressing a townhall meeting as well as a question and answer session.
Confirming the visit, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called on people to post their questions for the Prime Minister. "I'm excited to announce that Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India will be visiting Facebook HQ later this month for a Townhall Q&A," Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Facebook.
