Modi’s outreach to the diaspora emphasized their role as "brand ambassadors" of India, reinforcing the significance of the Indian-American community in shaping bilateral relations. His call for collaboration with U.S. tech executives and the opening of new consulates in Boston and Atlanta reflect India's aim to bolster innovation and connectivity.

Finally, on Day 3, Modi’s address at the UN Summit of the Future emphasized India’s commitment to global welfare. His focus on unity over conflict, particularly in reference to regions like Iraq, showcased India’s vision for a peaceful, cooperative world order.
